Bundled third-party material keeps its own license and is not relicensed by the
project license:

- The dragon card was handwritten by the project author. On 2026-09-11 the author confirmed full intellectual property ownership and authorized MIT distribution of the original and converted/split derivatives. The complete Steam Tide reference is project-authored material.
- preset/lib/ask-user-decision-pr.js derives its question contract from @deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-ask-user@0.1.2-alpha.3. Copyright (c) 2026 DeepSeek. Full terms: licenses/DeepSeek-MIT.txt.
- Harness deltas target original DeepSeek packages at 0.1.2-alpha.3, copyright (c) 2026 DeepSeek, MIT. Original packages are fetched from the author's npm scope. Complete patched official snapshots are not included; versioned deltas and fingerprints preserve integration.
- pi-ai 0.84.4 originates from earendil-works/pi, commit b79e4cc834970cca69daebffab7df1da7d1e52c4. Original copyright and MIT terms: licenses/pi-MIT.txt. The formal fork a86582751/pi publishes the four terminal-stream deltas used by the explicit Harness patcher.
- The upload dependency is the formal fork a86582751/dsh-file-upload, based on HongMing-Huang/dsh-file-upload 0.4.3, commit 79759cb31c9971706cb9a5fc71d30053f1b498c3. Copyright (c) 2026 HongMing-Huang, MIT. Its package preserves the original license and modification notice.
- Optional anydoc is the formal fork a86582751/dsh-plugin-anydoc, based on beancookie/dsh-plugin-anydoc commit 3af159ed06f62f3d2c61ab21c6a2475c71efbfa4. Upstream declares MIT in README but supplies no separate copyright notice. The fork records that fact and includes MIT terms without inventing a copyright statement.
- Optional @huiliyi37/dsh-office@0.2.2 is obtained from its author's npm publication under Apache-2.0. Its dependencies retain their own licenses. It is not copied into this tarball.

Formal forks preserve upstream histories, fixed inputs, deltas and rebuild instructions. They are not upstream-authored releases or endorsements. Fork distribution does not guarantee DSH directory acceptance; submission must disclose the full installation requirements.

The UI consumes host React and official client modules. Build dependencies are locked under build-tools. integrations/dependencies.json records the compatibility asset hashes.
