# Tracker Data License ShizuWall's source code is licensed under **GPLv3** (see [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md)). The tracker signature data shipped with the app is **not** code and is covered by a separate license, documented here. ## Covered files | File | Origin | |---|---| | `app/src/main/assets/trackers.json` | Derived from the Exodus Privacy tracker database | ## License The Exodus Privacy database is published under the [Open Database License (ODbL) v1.0](https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/). Rights in the individual contents of the database are licensed under the [Database Contents License (DbCL) v1.0](https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/dbcl/1-0/). Both files above are distributed under those same terms. ## Attribution > Tracker definitions are derived from the [Exodus Privacy](https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/) > database, licensed under ODbL v1.0. Exodus Privacy is a French non-profit association. ShizuWall is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Exodus Privacy in any way — their data is simply used under the terms its license grants to everyone. Consider supporting their work: ## What was changed `trackers.json` is a **trimmed** copy of the upstream database, not the raw one. Long-form descriptions and documentation fields were dropped and the tracker signature strings were split into a list, reducing 572 KB to 62 KB. Tracker ids, names, categories and websites are unchanged. The transformation is reproducible with [`tools/refresh_trackers.py`](tools/refresh_trackers.py). No definitions are added, removed or edited by hand: the Exodus Privacy database is the sole source, so what ShizuWall reports is exactly what upstream states. ## No runtime API access ShizuWall never contacts the Exodus Privacy API. The data ships as an asset and is refreshed manually before a release. This is deliberate: it keeps the app offline-only, and it respects the Exodus Privacy [API documentation](https://github.com/Exodus-Privacy/exodus/blob/v1/doc/api.md), which asks that end-user products not use their API in production.
