# WeirdUtils third-party notices
|
||||
|
||||
Audit date: 2026-08-31
|
||||
|
||||
The root `LICENSE` contains a public-domain dedication for WeirdUtils-authored
|
||||
material. That dedication does **not** override the licenses or rights of
|
||||
third-party code, assets, fonts, game-derived media, or reference material.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source project history
|
||||
|
||||
The Git history imported into this repository contains substantial development
|
||||
by MarcelineVQ and references the source project at:
|
||||
|
||||
- https://codeberg.org/MarcelineVQ/WeirdUtils
|
||||
|
||||
The later Dusk-92 GitHub commits are documented separately in
|
||||
`Docs/SOURCE_PROVENANCE.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## libdeflate
|
||||
|
||||
Vendored path:
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/weirdperformance/libdeflate/`
|
||||
|
||||
The bundled headers identify libdeflate version 1.25.
|
||||
|
||||
Upstream:
|
||||
|
||||
- https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate
|
||||
|
||||
License:
|
||||
|
||||
- MIT
|
||||
- Copyright 2016 Eric Biggers
|
||||
- Copyright 2024 Google LLC
|
||||
|
||||
A verbatim copy of the upstream license is preserved at:
|
||||
|
||||
- `LICENSES/libdeflate-MIT.txt`
|
||||
|
||||
The WeirdUtils public-domain dedication does not replace libdeflate's MIT
|
||||
notice.
|
||||
|
||||
## VanillaFixes
|
||||
|
||||
The performance timer implementation explicitly identifies itself as:
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/weirdperformance/timer_fix.zig`
|
||||
- "ported from VanillaFixes"
|
||||
|
||||
Upstream:
|
||||
|
||||
- https://github.com/hannesmann/vanillafixes
|
||||
|
||||
License:
|
||||
|
||||
- MIT
|
||||
- Copyright (c) 2022 Hannes Mann
|
||||
|
||||
A verbatim copy is preserved at:
|
||||
|
||||
- `LICENSES/VanillaFixes-MIT.txt`
|
||||
|
||||
## WeirdDPSMate / DPSMate
|
||||
|
||||
Bundled path:
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/dpslog/WeirdDPSMate/`
|
||||
|
||||
The subtree identifies DPSMate as originally by Shino <Synced> - Kronos, with
|
||||
later contributors including Torio.
|
||||
|
||||
License:
|
||||
|
||||
- GNU General Public License v3
|
||||
|
||||
The authoritative license is already bundled at:
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/dpslog/WeirdDPSMate/LICENSE`
|
||||
|
||||
The root public-domain dedication does not apply to this subtree.
|
||||
|
||||
The subtree also contains fonts, images, GraphLib textures, and bundled
|
||||
libraries. The presence of the DPSMate GPL file is not used here to make an
|
||||
unsupported claim about the separate underlying rights of every font or visual
|
||||
asset. See `Docs/ASSET_PROVENANCE.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## WSBT / Mik's Scrolling Battle Text material
|
||||
|
||||
Bundled path:
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/dpslog/WSBT/`
|
||||
|
||||
The source headers identify:
|
||||
|
||||
- Title: Mik's Combat Event Helper / Mik's Scrolling Battle Text
|
||||
- Author: Mik
|
||||
- Maintainer: Athene
|
||||
|
||||
No standalone license file was identified in this bundled WSBT subtree during
|
||||
this audit.
|
||||
|
||||
Accordingly, the WeirdUtils public-domain dedication does not claim to
|
||||
relicense this inherited material. Its exact licensing status remains
|
||||
unresolved unless stronger upstream evidence is later preserved.
|
||||
|
||||
## zhook
|
||||
|
||||
Build dependency:
|
||||
|
||||
- https://codeberg.org/marcelinevq/zhook
|
||||
- pinned commit: `f1b252ed61ad839f00310c386761d068f293ad0f`
|
||||
- Zig package hash:
|
||||
`zhook-0.1.0-pFkSYC6FAACAnkqu0k_DJBWdL0gJjrM22IfXeQPJAMov`
|
||||
|
||||
`build.zig.zon` downloads zhook at build time; it is not committed as a
|
||||
vendored source tree in this repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Its license was not independently verified during this GitHub-focused audit.
|
||||
The WeirdUtils root license therefore makes no licensing claim over zhook.
|
||||
|
||||
## UnitXP_SP3 reference material
|
||||
|
||||
`src/ssemaths/math_sse.zig` explicitly identifies
|
||||
`brues-code/UnitXP_SP3/polyfill.cpp` as a reference source for some function
|
||||
behavior and formulas.
|
||||
|
||||
Reference repository:
|
||||
|
||||
- https://github.com/brues-code/UnitXP_SP3
|
||||
|
||||
No root project-wide license file was identified in UnitXP_SP3 during this
|
||||
audit. Reference provenance is preserved without asserting that UnitXP_SP3
|
||||
material is public domain under WeirdUtils' root license.
|
||||
|
||||
## libSiliconPatch reference
|
||||
|
||||
The SSE research comments also identify libSiliconPatch as a closed-source
|
||||
symbol/export reference.
|
||||
|
||||
No libSiliconPatch binary is identified as a vendored dependency in the
|
||||
WeirdUtils source tree. Reference to its symbols or behavior does not imply
|
||||
ownership, affiliation, or a right to relicense that project.
|
||||
|
||||
## Game-facing visual assets
|
||||
|
||||
WeirdUtils bundles BLP/TGA assets under areas including:
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/minimapicons/assets/`
|
||||
- `src/worldmarkers/assets/`
|
||||
- `src/dpslog/WeirdDPSMate/images/`
|
||||
- `src/dpslog/WeirdDPSMate/libs/GraphLib/GraphTextures/`
|
||||
|
||||
It also bundles fonts under:
|
||||
|
||||
- `src/dpslog/WeirdDPSMate/fonts/`
|
||||
|
||||
These materials are excluded from the root public-domain dedication unless a
|
||||
specific file's rights are independently established.
|
||||
|
||||
Some paths and filenames correspond closely to World of Warcraft client
|
||||
resource naming. This provenance audit does not claim that Dusk-92 or
|
||||
MarcelineVQ owns the underlying Blizzard or third-party artwork.
|
||||
|
||||
See `Docs/ASSET_PROVENANCE.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## SuperWoW and server compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
WeirdUtils contains compatibility logic and references for SuperWoW and
|
||||
community-server environments.
|
||||
|
||||
Compatibility does not imply affiliation or endorsement. SuperWoW itself is
|
||||
not relicensed by WeirdUtils.
|
||||
|
||||
## World of Warcraft / Blizzard
|
||||
|
||||
World of Warcraft, Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment, and associated names,
|
||||
marks, artwork, client data, and game assets remain the property of their
|
||||
respective rights holders.
|
||||
|
||||
## Preservation rule
|
||||
|
||||
When third-party material is updated, replaced, or removed:
|
||||
|
||||
1. preserve its source and attribution;
|
||||
2. preserve the applicable license or permission where known;
|
||||
3. do not expand the root public-domain dedication to material whose rights are
|
||||
not held by WeirdUtils contributors;
|
||||
4. keep provenance records even when a component stops being bundled.
