Third-party software notices

Crustify is built on the open-source software listed below. Each component remains the property of its authors and is licensed to you under its own licence, not under the Crustify End User Licence Agreement. Nothing in the Crustify licence limits the rights these licences give you.

The full licence text of every component is installed with Crustify:

<Crustify folder>\licenses\ for the libraries built into Crustify itself (ImageMagick, .NET)

Some components are licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) or the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). For those components:

Their source code is available from the links below.
On request, for at least three years after you received Crustify, we will send you the complete corresponding source code of the exact versions shipped with Crustify. We may charge no more than the cost of physically providing it.

The LGPL-licensed components are separate files (DLLs or programs) that you may replace with your own builds. Where the LGPL allows it, you may also modify them and reverse-engineer Crustify to debug such modifications.

Bundled programs

Crustify starts these as separate programs. They are not linked into Crustify.
