List of third-party software used
Yozons has a long tradition of making use of open source software, since its very startup back in 2000. Read the IEEE Computer article written by the founder back in December 2001. Nowadays, we not only contribute to many of these projects, but we have joined the club with multiple open source projects that we lead.
This is the third-party software used by Open eSignForms for deployment. We believe it is exhaustive and correct. Please let us know if you know otherwise.
Open eSignForms is not suitable for military use, or for any high-security, high-risk, life-or-death purposes.
JARs and script files from other open source projects are used by Open eSignForms and are included in our open source code repository to allow for successful builds; you may be more comfortable downloading the code directly from the appropriate web site we've linked to.
Many free licenses suggest redistribution must contain references to their various license
files and/or access to the source code that is available there, and Open eSignForms makes no pretense that such software is to be
redistributed here as it can be freely retrieved from the appropriate site. If we are found in violation of any specifics, please
let us know and we'll do our best to rectify matters, or if we prefer, we will remove any offending software
from our build process libraries so that developers will need to acquire and install such libraries themselves in order
to successfully build this software. Any third-party code that is "conveyed" with Open eSignForms
includes the code as it was retrieved from the owner's sites, without any modifications, and we attempt to give them all
credit with references here, and we put the various license files in the folder webapps/ROOT/thirdpartylicense.
Open eSignForms makes no changes to any third-party code for its own use, though we do submit bug fixes and otherwise
support the related projects.
