1. INTRODUCTION
This document lists the open-source software components used in DigitalFreedom applications and services (“the Software”). Each component is subject to its own license terms, which are reproduced or referenced below.
This notice is provided in compliance with the attribution and notice requirements of the applicable open-source licenses and in accordance with our EULA.
1.1 Global scope
DigitalFreedom applications are distributed via the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store and are therefore made available in every country and territory those platforms serve. These open-source notices apply globally — copyright notices, license texts, and attribution requirements are presented as required by each component’s licence and as enforceable under EU copyright law (taken as the baseline) and the copyright law of every other jurisdiction in which the Software is distributed.
2. GENERAL TERMS
2.1 License Hierarchy
Where the Software includes open-source components:
- The open-source license terms govern those components
- Our EULA does not override or restrict rights granted by open-source licenses
- In the event of conflict between the EULA and an open-source license, the open-source license prevails for the affected component
2.2 Source Code Availability
For components licensed under copyleft licenses (e.g., GPL, LGPL, MPL) that require source code availability:
- Source code is available upon request at: hello@digitalfreedom.co.za
- Requests will be fulfilled within 30 days
- Source code offers remain valid for 3 years from the last distribution date, or as otherwise required by the applicable license
2.3 Your Obligations
If you redistribute the Software or components thereof, you are responsible for compliance with the applicable open-source license terms, including:
- Retaining copyright notices and license texts
- Providing source code where required
- Maintaining attribution notices
3. OPEN SOURCE COMPONENTS
3.1 Components in MacBusinessSuite
MacBusinessSuite contains no third-party open-source components. It is built from Apple’s operating-system frameworks (among them SwiftUI, SwiftData, StoreKit, WebKit, Network, PDFKit, Core Graphics, Core Image, AVFoundation, Security) and from code written by the Publisher. The code lists the app uses for electronic invoicing (EN 16931 code lists such as VATEX, UNCL 5305, UNTDID 1001, EAS and UN/ECE Recommendation 20) are generated from the officially published code-list files — data, not software.
The sections below therefore list no components. They remain in this document so that, when a component is added in a later version, its entry appears here in the form shown in § 3.2 and the licence texts in § 4 apply to it.
3.2 Form of a component entry
For each open-source component, the following information will be provided:
Component: [Component Name]
Version: [Version Number]
License: [License Type (e.g., MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL-3.0)]
Copyright: [Copyright Holder(s)]
Repository: [URL to source repository]
