Modernization Tool asset provenance
Audit date: 2026-08-31
This document tracks project branding and game-facing non-binary assets that need provenance separate from software DLL/EXE licensing.
Project icon
PurpleWowLogo.ico
- Git blob SHA-1:
7285e997cb6d635101d0d000867af75878894719 - Current use: PyInstaller application icon and bundled application resource
- Provenance status: unresolved-project-branding-asset
The file name suggests World of Warcraft-themed branding, but this audit did not establish its original creator or source license. No claim is made that Modernization Tool owns any Blizzard logo, trademark, or underlying game art that may be represented by the icon.
Until provenance is confirmed, the project should avoid representing the icon as an official Blizzard asset or as evidence of Blizzard affiliation.

The upstream AutoLogin.lua Git blob observed during the audit was
979af097982379ca14e4266dfea41f65452a9561. The Modernization Tool variant
contains additional secure-default behavior and therefore is not byte-identical.
The source repository did not expose a project-wide license file during this audit, so this provenance record does not itself establish redistribution permission.
Audio and visual mods
The tool may bundle or download visual/audio replacements from community
projects. Their source URLs and many exact file hashes are recorded in
Payload/Fallback/versions.json.
Game-facing media can have rights separate from the software that installs it. Do not infer that an MIT/GPL/BSD license covering installer code automatically covers Blizzard artwork, sounds, or other game assets.
Trademark boundary
World of Warcraft, Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment, and associated logos, names, artwork, audio, client files, and game assets remain the property of their respective rights holders.
Modernization Tool is an independent community project and does not claim official status or endorsement.
