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. It created both Open eSignForms and CKEditor for Vaadin projects. Yozons eSignForms is not offered as open source and requires a commercial license. eSignForms is Made in the USA.
This is the third-party software used by Yozons eSignForms for deployment. We believe it is exhaustive and correct. Please let us know if you know otherwise.
Yozons 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 Yozons eSignForms and are included in our source code repository, or via Maven, 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 Yozons 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 Yozons eSignForms
includes the code as it was retrieved from the owner's sites, mostly without any modifications or modified for embedded use, and we attempt to give them all
credit with references here, and we put the various license files in the folder webapps/ROOT/thirdpartylicense.

We place the 'binary' distribution in the various locations that are typical of the GWT style (GWT is only used during development, as the compiled JavaScript runs in production). |

On Linux, many install in /usr/local/bin. As of 6/27/2022, the HtmlToPdf converter can use Google Chrome for PDF generation instead of wkhtmltopdf. |
This is the third-party software used by Yozons 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.
