Third-party licenses¶
django-helpdesk includes 3rd party software. The licenses for these applications are reproduced below.
This file contains license details for 3rd party software which is
distributed with django-helpdesk.
jQuery, jQuery UI (including its bundled themes), Raphael, DataTables, Metis
Menu, Bootstrap and Font Awesome Free are installed by yarn from package.json
and copied into src/helpdesk/static/helpdesk/vendor by `make static-vendor`.
Their texts are reproduced verbatim from the LICENSE file each package ships,
and the versions above match package.json. When you bump one of those
dependencies, re-check its license file and update the matching entry here.
akismet.py, jqPlot, StartBootstrap SB Admin, Morris.js, Flot and Timeline 3 are
not fetched by yarn; they are committed directly to the repository, so their
versions are not tracked in package.json.
