List of third-party software used

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.

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.

We also used some as the basis for customized icons that are stored separately (VAADIN/themes/esf/icons/esf/), but contain the "fatcow_" prefix to show their roots (derivative works), though the images themselves have been modified (rotated, images combined, colors changed, resized, pixels modified, etc.) from those in the original distribution. All such modified images are licensed under the AGPL when used with Open eSignForms, but they are also licensed under the same Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 for use elsewhere.
GNU on Linux Kernel	Various GNU GPL and LGPL	Optional free platform. Software not included. We use CentOS 5. While GPL, they run stand-alone and Open eSignForms has no hooks to them, thus can be used even in commercial settings.
Google Web Toolkit 2.3.0	Apache License Version 2.0	Free software included as libraries and generated user interface code. We place the 'binary' distribution in the various locations that are typical of the GWT style.

Software not included. We use the binary distribution. This product is covered and controlled by U.S. Export Control laws and may be subject to the export or import laws in other countries.
JDOM 2.0.1	Proprietary open license that allows free redistribution. This product includes software developed by the JDOM Project (http://www.jdom.org/).	We use the binary distribution with the JAR in the `WEB-INF/lib` folder of the webapp.

This is the third-party software used by Open eSignForms developers, in addition to the software listed above. We believe it is exhaustive and correct. Please let us know if you know otherwise. Again, no code changes are made to these software components, nor are they needed for run-times.
