Third-party material bundled with this repository
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both fonts below are compiled into the IW4L binary with `include_bytes!`, so
they are redistributed with every build. The binary also embeds this NOTICE,
LICENSE, both licence texts and THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt; `iw4l licenses`
prints them.

GNU General Public License v3 or later, with the GNU font exception — full
text in crates/console/assets/COPYING-FreeFont.txt. The exception is what
makes embedding the font in an Apache-2.0 binary possible: a document or
program that merely uses the font is not thereby covered by the GPL. The
font itself is unmodified and remains under the GPL.

Third-party source code
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No third-party source code is vendored in this repository, and the build links
no third-party project named below. The Rust crates compiled into the IW4L
binary, with their licence and copyright texts, are listed in
THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt; the binary embeds that file and `iw4l licenses`
prints it. `cargo xtask licenses` regenerates it from Cargo.lock.

References consulted during development
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These projects were read while working out how the original games behave. They
are named here because the reading happened, not because anything of theirs is
distributed: none of them is vendored, linked, bundled or otherwise shipped.
OpenAssetTools — https://github.com/Laupetin/OpenAssetTools
Open-source modding tools for older Call of Duty games. Its asset-structure
headers document the on-disk layouts IW4L reads. Licensed under GPLv3.
oat (iw4x-x64 fork of OpenAssetTools) — https://github.com/iw4x-x64/oat
The x64 fork, at revision 3a7442dee5ce040cfdb8da23fdb9fb525b5f743e, is the
tree whose IW4MS headers were read for the 64-bit FastFile layouts.
Licensed under GPLv3, like its upstream. No file in this repository is
compiled against, generated from or distributed with those headers.
IW4x — https://github.com/iw4x/iw4x-client
A custom client for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), with dedicated
servers, security fixes and modding support. Read as a cross-reference for
asset and protocol behaviour. Licensed under GPLv3.
KisakCOD — https://github.com/SwagSoftware/KisakCOD
A Call of Duty 4 open-source reimplementation. Read as a cross-reference for
engine structure. IW4L targets IW4, so this is a neighbouring generation of
the same engine family, not the same codebase.
Ghidra — https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra
The software reverse engineering framework the original game binaries were
read with. A development tool: none of it, and none of its output, is
committed here or distributed with IW4L. Licensed under Apache 2.0.

Game content
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No Call of Duty game data is contained in this repository or in any IW4L
release archive. IW4L reads game data from a copy of the game the user already
owns and has installed. Call of Duty, Modern Warfare, Black Ops, related
trademarks and all original game assets belong to their respective owners.
IW4L is not affiliated with, endorsed by or supported by them.
