Brandon Thomas f64ae3bf3c Craft Anything

A native, pure-Rust app that shows anyone how a piece of software works, with
evidence-backed answers, then helps them rebuild it. It ships a desktop app, a
CLI and an MCP server, all driven by one engine.

Licences

Craft Anything is MIT OR Apache-2.0. This page says what we may depend on, how it is checked, and how the third-party licence bundle for a release is made.

Policy

Linked or bundled code must be permissive. Rust crates, fonts, icons and any other material compiled into or shipped with the app use one of the licences allowed in deny.toml: MIT, Apache-2.0 (also WITH LLVM-exception), BSD-2/3-Clause, ISC, Zlib, 0BSD, Unicode-3.0, BSL-1.0, CDLA-Permissive-2.0, OFL-1.1 and the Ubuntu Font Licence (fonts only).
MPL-2.0 only by name. It is file-level copyleft, so it is allowed per crate, never broadly: today only option-ext (via dirs), used unmodified. Dual-licensed crates such as self_cell and r-efi pass through their permissive option.
We never link or bundle copyleft code (GPL, LGPL, AGPL, SSPL, EUPL, CC-BY-SA and the like).
Programs we only run may have any licence. External programs started as separate processes (Ghidra, rizin, tshark, Frida, JADX, Apktool, rtl_433, adb, a browser, an agent CLI…) are not linked or shipped by us. The person installs them, or we download the upstream release on request; we never copy their code into ours.
Avoid patent-encumbered codecs. Don't add encoders for H.264/AVC, HEVC/H.265 or AAC. Prefer AV1, VP9, Opus, FLAC, PNG and WebP; to decode those formats, use the operating system's codecs.

Known traps

Thing	Problem
`dssim` (image similarity)	AGPL-3.0. Don't use it; pick a permissive metric or write our own.
Hunyuan3D models	Licence excludes the EU, UK and South Korea. Don't make it a default or bundle it.
FLUX.1 [dev] weights	Non-commercial licence. Only through a hosted API whose terms allow our use.

Model weights and hosted APIs have their own terms; read them before adding one as a default.

Checking

cargo install cargo-deny --locked   # once
cargo xtask licenses                # = cargo deny check licenses
cargo deny check                    # also advisories, bans (no wildcard versions) and sources

A new licence or crate exception needs a line in deny.toml with a reason, and a line here if it changes the policy.

Release bundle

Releases ship a third-party licence file generated by cargo-about from about.toml and the template about.hbs:

cargo install cargo-about --locked  # once
cargo about generate about.hbs -o THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.html

Keep accepted in about.toml in step with deny.toml. Fonts and icons from assets/ and egui's built-in fonts are listed in NOTICE and ATTRIBUTION.md, which ship alongside it.
