Third-party dependency licensing notes
======================================

BlazeCrawl Core's direct and transitive runtime dependencies were inventoried
during the RC1 security/legal pass. The base install contains NO GPL, AGPL,
SSPL, BSL, Elastic License, Commons Clause, or non-commercial licenses.

Weak-copyleft / notice licenses present and assessed as compatible with
Apache-2.0 distribution of this work:

* chardet — LGPL-2.1-or-later. Used as an unmodified, dynamically-imported
  library; no derivative work is created. LGPL dynamic-use obligations apply
  to chardet itself, not to BlazeCrawl Core.
* tld (transitive) — MPL-1.1 OR GPL-2.0-only OR LGPL-2.1-or-later; we rely on
  the LGPL/MPL permissive-dynamic-use path. Unmodified library use.
* certifi — MPL-2.0. File-level copyleft; unmodified use is compatible.

If you redistribute a modified version of any LGPL/MPL-licensed dependency,
consult that dependency's license terms. This NOTICE is informational and is
not legal advice.

An earlier RC draft used ``html2text`` (GPL-3.0). It was replaced with
``markdownify`` (MIT) specifically to keep BlazeCrawl Core cleanly
Apache-2.0-compatible. Do not reintroduce GPL/AGPL dependencies into the base
install.
