DriveForge — Third-Party Notices
==============================

DriveForge's own code is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0
(GPL-3.0) — see LICENSE.txt. DriveForge also uses the following third-party
components, each licensed separately under its own terms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) wimlib 1.14.4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (C) 2012-2023 Eric Biggers and contributors.

License:
  - The wimlib library is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public
    License, version 3 (LGPL-3.0) or any later version.
  - The wimlib-imagex command-line program is licensed under the GNU General
    Public License, version 3 (GPL-3.0) or any later version.

Project / source code:
  - Website:  https://wimlib.net/
  - Source:   https://wimlib.net/downloads/   (and https://github.com/ebiggers/wimlib)

How DriveForge uses it:
  DriveForge bundles the official, UNMODIFIED Windows x86-64 binary build of
  wimlib 1.14.4, distributed as the archive:
      wimlib-1.14.4-windows-x86_64-bin.zip
      SHA-256: 6D99E242BFBC6D36FC987D433D63772180551B7F2D8DE43E9561535A3E2C16D8

  The archive is embedded inside DriveForge.exe, extracted at first use to
      %LocalAppData%\DriveForge\Tools\wimlib\
  and invoked as a SEPARATE PROCESS. DriveForge does not statically or
  dynamically link wimlib into its own executable; it only runs the
  wimlib-imagex.exe tool at arm's length.

License texts:
  The official wimlib archive contains its own full license texts
  (COPYING.txt, COPYING.GPLv3, COPYING.LGPLv3). These files are extracted
  together with the wimlib binaries into the folder above, so a copy of the
  applicable GPL-3.0 and LGPL-3.0 license texts always accompanies the
  distributed binaries. The canonical texts are also available at:
      https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt
      https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.txt

Obtaining the corresponding source:
  Because DriveForge redistributes the official, unmodified wimlib binaries,
  the corresponding source code for exactly this version is available from
  the wimlib project at https://wimlib.net/ (look for wimlib 1.14.4).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Ventoy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (C) longpanda and the Ventoy contributors.

License:
  - Ventoy is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 3
    (GPL-3.0). Some components bundled by Ventoy carry their own compatible
    licenses; see the Ventoy project for the full breakdown.

Project / source code:
  - Website:  https://www.ventoy.net/
  - Source:   https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy

How DriveForge uses it:
  Ventoy powers the optional "multi-boot USB" feature. DriveForge does NOT
  bundle Ventoy inside DriveForge.exe. When the user chooses to create a
  multi-boot drive, DriveForge downloads the official Ventoy Windows release
  from the project's GitHub releases at runtime and runs Ventoy2Disk.exe as a
  SEPARATE PROCESS. Ventoy is neither statically nor dynamically linked into
  DriveForge.

Obtaining the corresponding source:
  The corresponding source for Ventoy is available from the Ventoy project at
  https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy (match the version DriveForge downloaded).
