Effective July 15, 2026 · Version 1.1

Pixla products include third-party and open-source software. We are grateful to the authors of these components. This page provides the attributions and notices their licenses require. Each component remains governed by its own license; nothing here modifies those licenses.

Components used across multiple apps

Sparkle

• Bundled in: the Developer-ID DMG apps that self-update — Vaporware (Sparkle 2.9.3) and Pixla Editor (Sparkle 2.9.4).
• Purpose: Software update framework.
• License: Distributed under a permissive MIT-style license, with additional bundled components (e.g., bsdiff) under their own permissive licenses.
• Source: https://sparkle-project.org

Apple SDK frameworks

• Used by: all apps.
• Purpose: SwiftUI, AppKit, Foundation, and related system frameworks.
• License: Used under the Apple SDK and Xcode license agreements. Not redistributed by Pixla.

Per-app components

Vaporware

Vaporware bundles Sparkle (above). Separately, it downloads third-party database engines directly to your device, at your direction, from their official sources. These are governed by their own licenses and are not redistributed by Pixla:

• PostgreSQL — PostgreSQL License. https://www.postgresql.org
• MySQL — GPLv2 (with FOSS License Exception). https://www.mysql.com
• Redis — license varies by version (BSD-3-Clause / RSALv2 / SSPLv1). https://redis.io
• SQLite — Public Domain. https://sqlite.org

Pixla Editor

The Developer-ID DMG build of Pixla Editor bundles Sparkle (above) plus a self-contained web-development language-server toolchain so code intelligence works without any per-user setup:

• Node.js — MIT License. Runtime that hosts the language servers. Node bundles its own components (e.g., V8 under a BSD-3-Clause license, libuv under MIT, OpenSSL under Apache-2.0); their notices are included with the Node distribution. https://nodejs.org
• vscode-langservers-extracted (v4.10.0) — MIT License. HTML, CSS, and JSON language servers. https://github.com/hrsh7th/vscode-langservers-extracted
• typescript-language-server (v4.3.3) — MIT License. JavaScript/TypeScript language server. https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server
• TypeScript (v5.6.3) — Apache-2.0 License. https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript

These Node packages install their own transitive dependencies (under MIT, ISC, BSD, and Apache-2.0 licenses); the full license text for each is included in the bundled node_modules tree within the app.

Pixla Sites, Pixla Mail, Pixla Hosting

These apps are built solely on Apple's system frameworks and Pixla's own code. They do not bundle any third-party open-source libraries, and therefore carry no additional third-party notices.

Online services (not distributed to users)

Pixla's online services (Pixla Hosting and Pixla Mail) run on open-source server software — including the Vapor web framework, the SwiftNIO networking stack, and the Soto AWS client, together with related Apache-2.0- and MIT-licensed libraries. This software runs on Pixla's servers and is not distributed to users, so it is listed here for transparency only. https://vapor.codes
