Third-Party Notices

jFile NLP bundles third-party open-source software for networking. Natural language search uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework, a macOS system framework that requires no separate license attribution. This page summarizes the networking components and where to find bundled license materials.

Compact notice summary Full texts retained where provided

Major Components

Citadel

Used for SSH and SFTP functionality. Citadel is distributed under the MIT License.

AMSMB2 and libsmb2

Used for SMB connectivity. AMSMB2 notes that it is subject to LGPL v2.1 due to its linkage with libsmb2, and jFile distributes the SMB component as a dynamically linked library.

Full License Materials

Where upstream packages provide license texts or notice files, those materials are preserved in the application bundle.

This page is a summary only. The governing terms remain the licenses distributed with the individual upstream projects.

LGPL Note

LGPL is involved for the SMB component chain through AMSMB2 and libsmb2. The upstream AMSMB2 project specifically states that dynamic linking is the intended distribution model for App Store distribution.

This is a technical notice, not legal advice. If you need a formal interpretation of open-source license obligations, consult qualified counsel.
