Third-party notices
PUSHTYPE is built on open-source software and open speech models. We're grateful to the people who made them. This file lists each one, its license and what the license asks of us. The full license texts are in legal/third-party/, and the release build copies this whole folder into PUSHTYPE.app/Contents/Resources/Legal.
The companies named here have not endorsed PUSHTYPE. Their names are used only to say where each component comes from.
Software shipped inside PUSHTYPE.app
These are compiled into the app or bundled with it. Their licenses require us to include the copyright notice and license text with every copy we distribute.

We didn't change FluidAudio, Sparkle, LaunchAtLogin, or llama.cpp. They're used as released (llama.cpp as its official prebuilt framework). Apache 2.0 §4(b) asks that modified files be marked; since we modified nothing, there is nothing to mark.
Speech models (downloaded on first use, not bundled)
PUSHTYPE doesn't ship model weights. When you press Download in Settings, PUSHTYPE fetches the model you picked straight from its public Hugging Face repository onto your Mac. PUSHTYPE never sends your audio anywhere; the models run on your Mac.
We don't redistribute the weights, but we credit them anyway: it's what their authors ask for, and CC BY 4.0 requires it when a work is shared.

Licenses checked on each model's Hugging Face card, 2026-10-14.
Typing models (downloaded on first use, not bundled)
TYPE, the inline autocomplete, runs one of these text models on your Mac through llama.cpp. As with the speech models, PUSHTYPE downloads the file you pick from Hugging Face; we don't redistribute the weights. Each is the quantized GGUF build by mradermacher of the original model, and every one is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 (checked on each model card, 2026-10-14).

All four speech-model licenses (the table before this one) allow commercial use. What each one requires:
- CC BY 4.0. Credit the creators, link to the license, say whether changes were made (we made none), and don't imply endorsement.
- NVIDIA Open Model License. When redistributing, pass on the agreement and include the notice "Licensed by NVIDIA Corporation under the NVIDIA Open Model License". Rights end if you sue over the model's IP, or if you bypass its guardrails without a substitute. Using NVIDIA's trademarks isn't granted: we name NVIDIA only to say where the model comes from, and never use its logo.
- OpenMDW-1.1. When redistributing, keep the license and the notices of origin. Rights end on patent or copyright litigation over the model. There are no restrictions on outputs, so your transcripts are yours.
- MIT (Silero VAD). Keep the copyright notice.
