Licences

Courtside is free software under the GNU AGPL v3. To play video, it also carries libraries by other people, under their own licences. This page says where to find their notices on your computer, and how to get their source code.

Find the third-party notices​

Each installer puts a third-party folder next to the app. It holds:

  • THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt: each bundled library, with its version, its licence and where its source is;
  • the licence texts of mpv, FFmpeg and Courtside itself.

macOS​

  1. In Finder, open Applications.
  2. Right-click Courtside and choose Show Package Contents.
  3. Open Contents → Resources → third-party.

Windows​

Open the third-party folder in the folder Courtside is installed in. Courtside installs for your account only, so that's usually %LOCALAPPDATA%\Courtside. To find it another way, right-click Courtside in the Start menu and choose Open file location.

What's bundled​

Video plays through libmpv, which uses FFmpeg and other libraries to decode it. They are free software under the GPL, with some parts under the LGPL, BSD or MIT licences. Courtside uses them unchanged.

  • macOS: the libraries are Homebrew's builds.
  • Windows: libmpv-2.dll is a build from the mpv-winbuild-cmake project. The notices file names the exact release and mpv commit.

Get the source code​

The GPL gives you the right to the source code of the GPL software in your installer. The Courtside project promises to send it to you on request, for three years from the release of that installer, charging no more than it costs to provide.

To ask for it, write to the address in Third-party software in Courtside's installers. Say which Courtside version you have and which system it's on (macOS or Windows). That page also has the full wording of the offer.

Courtside's own source code is public at github.com/cillianbc/courtside.
