JuicePress Application

JuicePress is proprietary software developed by FreshJuice.

Open Source Acknowledgements

JuicePress is proprietary software made by FreshJuice, and under the hood it runs on the energy of fresh juice and the work of brilliant open-source projects. We are grateful to their authors and the communities that keep them alive.

This page lists every project JuicePress stands on, along with the full text of the licenses they are released under. Read it like a thank-you card with fine print at the back. If you spot anything missing or wrong, please write to contact@freshjuice.dev and we will fix it.

The same acknowledgements page is shipped inside the application bundle so you can read it offline at any time from About → Notices & Acknowledgements.

Open Source Acknowledgements

The libraries doing the heavy lifting inside JuicePress.

Project	What it does for us	License
FFmpeg	Video/audio transcoding, probing, and stream processing	GPL-3.0
Tauri	The desktop application framework	MIT / Apache-2.0
Svelte	The reactive UI framework	MIT
Tailwind CSS	Utility-first styling system	MIT
Phosphor Icons	The icons you see throughout the app	MIT

FFmpeg note: JuicePress downloads pre-built GPL-3.0 FFmpeg binaries at runtime and invokes them as an external process — FFmpeg is not linked as a library. The binaries are sourced from BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds (Windows) and ffmpeg.martin-riedl.de (macOS), and include GPL-licensed codecs such as libx264 and libx265. Because FFmpeg runs as a standalone process, JuicePress remains independent proprietary software.

FFmpeg upstream source code: github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg

Plus over three hundred transitive Rust and JavaScript dependencies released under the same permissive terms (mostly MIT, Apache-2.0, ISC, and BSD). The full audited list is maintained inside our build pipeline and is available on request.

License Texts

The sections below reproduce the verbatim text of each unique license used by the components above. They are included so the BSD/MIT/Apache attribution clauses are satisfied and so you can read exactly what permissions and disclaimers apply to the open-source code shipped inside JuicePress.

GNU General Public License v3.0 (FFmpeg)

Used by: FFmpeg, invoked as an external process at runtime.

The pre-built FFmpeg binaries distributed with JuicePress are the GPL variant and include GPL-licensed codecs (libx264, libx265, and others). FFmpeg is a trademark of Fabrice Bellard, originator of the FFmpeg project. JuicePress is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the FFmpeg project.

The full text of the GPL-3.0 license is available at gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html.

The FFmpeg source code for the version used by JuicePress is available at github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/tree/release/8.0.

ISC License

Used by: a handful of small transitive Rust dependencies (e.g. cryptography helpers and clipboard utilities).

Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.

Mozilla Public License 2.0

Used by: a few low-level Tauri dependencies for HTML/CSS parsing (cssparser, cssparser-macros, dtoa-short, selectors).

These are used as-is, without modification. MPL-2.0 only requires sharing modifications to those specific source files — since we have not modified them, no further obligations apply. The full license text is available at mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0.

Zlib, Unicode-3.0, BSL-1.0, CDLA-Permissive-2.0, Unlicense, 0BSD

Used by: small transitive utility crates (numeric formatters, Unicode data tables, web PKI roots, byte order helpers, and similar plumbing).

These are all permissive licenses comparable to MIT. Their full texts are available at the SPDX License List — search for the SPDX identifier listed above.
