Licences

This page exists because a hosted web app hands its JavaScript to every visitor, and handing somebody a program is distributing it. Everything listed here runs on your own machine, in your own browser. None of it is a service, and none of it sends your picture anywhere.

What this app is built from

The list below is the whole of it — the four things that reach your browser, and nothing else. All three dependencies are permissively licensed; there is no GPL- or AGPL-licensed code in the bundle.

Component Version Licence Authors
Pencil topper maker the app you are using MIT philltran/pencil-top-maker

manifold-3d is the solid-geometry kernel, compiled to WebAssembly. It is what extrudes each colour band into a solid and cuts the pencil bore. fflate is the zip implementation; a 3MF file is a zip with XML inside it, so it writes the file you download. three.js draws the small 3D preview, and only that — it never touches the geometry it is shown or the file you download. Everything else — decoding your picture, reducing the palette, tracing the outlines — is this app's own code and the browser's own image decoder.

Declared but not shipped

For completeness, because a dependency tree and a bundle are not the same thing. manifold-3d declares @gltf-transform/* and sharp as dependencies, which serve its Node-side command-line tooling. Neither is reachable from this app's browser entry point and neither appears in the built bundle. That matters for one of them in particular: sharp's platform binaries (@img/sharp-libvips-*) are LGPL-3.0-or-later. They are native binaries for Node, are never served to a browser, and are not part of what this page describes as distributed.

Verifying this page

This list is maintained by hand and can drift from the dependency tree. Two commands in a clean clone re-establish it: npm ls --omit=dev --all for what is declared, and npm run build && grep -c gltf dist/assets/*.js for what is actually bundled — the second should print 0 for every chunk.
