Third-Party Licenses — PixelMarch
PixelMarch (© PixelMarch) is distributed as a compiled binary that incorporates the open-source components listed below. Each is used under its stated permissive license (MIT or Apache-2.0). No component is under a copyleft license (GPL/LGPL/AGPL/MPL), so distributing PixelMarch as a closed-source commercial product imposes no source-disclosure obligation. The only obligation is to reproduce the copyright notices and license texts — this file satisfies it and MUST ship with every PixelMarch binary.
Not bundled / not covered here: the external AI CLIs PixelMarch can orchestrate (Anthropic Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini CLI, aider) are not distributed with PixelMarch. The user installs and authenticates those separately; their own licenses/terms govern that use. PixelMarch merely invokes them as external processes.
Completeness note: the tables below list PixelMarch's direct dependencies. Each pulls in transitive dependencies, virtually all MIT/Apache-2.0. Before each public release, regenerate the full transitive manifest: - Rust:
cargo install cargo-about && cargo about generate about.hbs > legal/rust-licenses.html(orcargo install cargo-license && cargo license --avoid-build-deps) - JS:npx license-checker --production --summaryAppend anything that is not MIT/Apache/BSD/ISC and review it. As of this writing no such license appears in the tree.
