# Third-party assets used in `gwm_site`

The first file of its kind in this repo (Phase 47 Step 530) — written when
Awesome Backgrounds became the first feature to bundle third-party icon
sets, and used as the occasion to also document the Orbitron font this
site was already self-hosting with no attribution file of its own.

Every asset below is vendored (self-hosted) rather than pulled from a
live CDN at runtime, for the same reason `css/theme.css` already
self-hosts Orbitron instead of a Google Fonts import: no third-party
availability/rate-limit risk, and nothing this site serves should depend
on an external host being up.

## Orbitron (font)

- **Files**: `gwm_site/fonts/orbitron/*.ttf`, used by `css/theme.css`.
- **License**: SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. Full text:
  `gwm_site/fonts/orbitron/OFL.txt`.
- **Source**: https://github.com/theleagueof/orbitron
- The OFL permits embedding and redistribution as part of software; it
  does not require attribution in the rendered page itself, only that the
  license text travel with the font (which it already does, alongside the
  `.ttf` files).

## Lucide (icons)

- **Files**: `gwm_site/vendor/lucide/lucide-manifest.json` (2,034 icons,
  the project's full free set — no trademark/brand-logo concerns, so
  nothing was excluded), sourced from the `lucide-static` npm package,
  version 1.33.0.
- **License**: ISC (a permissive, MIT-shaped license). Full text:
  `gwm_site/vendor/lucide/LICENSE`. A subset of icons additionally
  carries an MIT notice (inherited from the Feather icon project Lucide
  forked from) — both texts are in that same LICENSE file.
- **Source**: https://lucide.dev
- **Attribution**: not legally required by ISC/MIT beyond keeping the
  license file itself intact (done, above) — credited anyway, in the
  Awesome Backgrounds builder's own footer, because it's a real project
  worth naming.

## Font Awesome Free (icons)

- **Files**: `gwm_site/vendor/fontawesome/fontawesome-manifest.json` —
  **solid + regular styles only** (2,274 icons), sourced from the
  `@fortawesome/fontawesome-free` npm package, version 7.3.1.
- **Deliberately excludes the "brands" style** (609 icons — real,
  trademarked company logos: Twitter, Facebook, GitHub, and so on).
  Bouncing a generic star or heart around a background is one thing;
  bouncing someone else's trademarked logo as decorative art is a
  genuinely different, awkward question this phase didn't need to
  answer, so it scoped around it instead.
- **License**: the icons (SVG files, which is the only form used here —
  the webfont itself was never bundled) are licensed **CC BY 4.0**,
  which **does require attribution**. Full text:
  `gwm_site/vendor/fontawesome/LICENSE.txt`.
- **Source**: https://fontawesome.com
- **Attribution, given for real, not just documented**: the Awesome
  Backgrounds builder page (`awesome-backgrounds.html`) carries a
  permanent, visible "Icons by Font Awesome (fontawesome.com), CC BY
  4.0" credit line in its footer — present regardless of whether a
  visitor's specific configuration happens to use a Font Awesome icon,
  since the picker itself is part of what's being credited.
  **Corrects an earlier, more hedged note in this phase's own plan**
  (`CLAUDE_PLAN.md` Step 530, written before the real license file was
  actually read): CC BY 4.0's attribution requirement is a real term of
  the license, not merely "requested."
