Third-party notices

From THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt in the Kitsumi repository.

Kitsumi itself is proprietary; see LICENSE in the project repository at https://github.com/Olexify/Kitsumi. This file covers the parts of this package that are NOT Kitsumi's, and it exists because their licences require their notices to travel with the code. Those components keep their own licences: the terms below govern them, not Kitsumi's terms.

Every full licence text named here ships inside this package at the path given.

Tesseract.js

Files:    lib/tesseract/tesseract.min.js
          lib/tesseract/worker.min.js
Licence:  Apache License 2.0
Text:     lib/tesseract/LICENSE-tesseract.txt
Upstream: https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js

Both bundles embed third-party code of their own, and the notices for it are kept beside them exactly as the upstream build emits them:

  lib/tesseract/tesseract.min.js.LICENSE.txt
      regenerator-runtime - Copyright (c) 2014-present, Facebook, Inc. - MIT
  lib/tesseract/worker.min.js.LICENSE.txt
      buffer          - Feross Aboukhadijeh - MIT
      ieee754         - Feross Aboukhadijeh - BSD-3-Clause

Tesseract OCR engine, compiled to WebAssembly

Files:    lib/tesseract/tesseract-core-simd-lstm.js
          lib/tesseract/tesseract-core-simd-lstm.wasm
Licence:  Apache License 2.0
Text:     lib/tesseract/LICENSE-tesseract.txt
Upstream: https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js-core
          https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract

This is a build of the Tesseract OCR engine. It links Leptonica, libpng and libtiff, each under its own permissive licence, and their full texts live with those projects:

  Leptonica  https://github.com/DanBloomberg/leptonica
  libpng     https://github.com/pnggroup/libpng
  libtiff    https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff

Japanese vertical recognition data

File:     lib/tesseract/jpn_vert.traineddata
          (Chrome and Firefox packages only - the Opera store accepts no
          .traineddata file, so the Opera package leaves it out)
Licence:  Apache License 2.0
Text:     lib/tesseract/LICENSE-tesseract.txt
Upstream: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata

Recognition data for any other language is never bundled, and in the Opera package that includes Japanese. When one is needed it loads from https://tessdata.projectnaptha.com and is cached on the device, under the same licence.

fflate

File:     lib/fflate.min.js
Licence:  MIT - Copyright (c) 2023 Arjun Barrett
Text:     lib/LICENSE-fflate.txt
Upstream: https://github.com/101arrowz/fflate

Used to read the .zip files of dictionaries and subtitles that the user imports or downloads.

Kanji usage frequency data

Where:    the KANJI_FREQ table inside lib/ocr-engine.js
Licence:  Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International
Text:     lib/tesseract/LICENSE-kanji-frequency.txt
Upstream: https://github.com/scriptin/kanji-frequency

Derived, with changes, from Dmitry Shpika's datasets. The changes are described in the licence file named above.

Brand marks

Files:    icons/youtube.png, icons/twitch.png, icons/instagram.png,
          icons/discord.png, icons/patreon.png, icons/kofi.png,
          icons/github.png

These are the trade marks of their respective owners. They are shipped unmodified and used for one purpose: as the icons of the links that open Kitsumi's own pages on those services. No affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from any of them is claimed or implied.

Note that this is about trade marks, not about who drew the file. These icons depict other companies' marks whoever made the image, which is why they are listed here.

Everything else in icons/ - the app icons, the fox artwork, the settings icon and the opening video - is the author's own work and is covered by section 1 of LICENSE, not by anything here. If you believe a file in this package is yours, write to the address in LICENSE and it will be credited or removed.

Sounds

sounds/AppLaunch.mp3 is the author's own work and is covered by section 1 of LICENSE, not by anything here.

sounds/known_add.mp3 and sounds/known_remove.mp3 were synthesised for Kitsumi from plain sine waves by a script (no samples, no third-party audio); they are part of the project and covered by section 1 of LICENSE as well.

The other five clips came from Freesound (https://freesound.org/) and Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/). Each was transcoded to MP3 for this package. The audio itself is unaltered - no trimming, no mixing, no effects. Under section 2(a)(4) of the Creative Commons 4.0 licences, a change of format alone never produces adapted material, so nothing here is an adaptation of anybody's work.

Pixabay content is covered by the Pixabay Content License (https://pixabay.com/service/license-summary/), which permits use in a commercial product and asks for no attribution.

Freesound has no single licence: each upload carries the one its author chose. Nothing here is under a NonCommercial licence. The clips used are:

Dictionaries offered in the catalog

These are NOT part of this package. Kitsumi hosts none of them and ships none of them. The catalog is a list of links; a file is fetched from a third-party host only when the user asks for it, and it then lives in that user's own browser. Each keeps whatever licence its publisher gave it, and the obligation to honour that licence is the publisher's and the user's, not Kitsumi's.

They are listed here because a person deciding whether to install one should be able to see the terms, and because Kitsumi states the same licence on the row itself, in the catalog, before the download button.

Two rows in that same Korean build, the STDICT monolingual dictionary and the CC100 frequency list, state no licence at their source. Kitsumi says so on the row rather than implying terms nobody has stated.

Anything a user imports from their own files is entirely their own business and never appears here.

Online dictionary services

Off until the user switches online lookups on. Each lookup sends the single hovered word to the service; nothing is stored by Kitsumi, and the answer is shown with the service's name on it. Kitsumi is not affiliated with any of them. The data behind them, where the service states it:
