shot2code incorporates the third-party components listed below. This file is provided for license-compliance review. shot2code itself is licensed under the MIT License; the documentation and release assets in this hub are published under the MIT License.

Principal direct dependencies, aligned with the public source on 4 October 2026. This is not a complete list and not a transitive SBOM: each component brings dependencies of its own, and the bundled runtimes below aggregate hundreds of separately licensed projects. For a deployment or compliance decision, resolve the manifests and lockfiles named in Authoritative manifests and inspect the license files shipped inside the release you are assessing.

The license column records the identifier each project declares in its own metadata at that date. It is a pointer, not a legal determination, and it does not describe that project's dependencies.


Bundled runtimes

These ship inside the Windows installer, which is why it unpacks to roughly 600 MB. They are the largest licensing surface in the product and none of them is a single-license component.

Component Role in shot2code Declared license
Electron — includes Chromium and Node.js The desktop shell that hosts the UI MIT for Electron itself; the embedded Chromium is BSD-3-Clause plus many other licenses, and Node.js is MIT with its own bundled dependencies
CPython (3.11+) The backend runtime, frozen into the app Python Software Foundation License 2.0, with separately licensed standard-library components
PyInstaller Freezes the backend; its bootloader is linked into the shipped executable GPL-2.0-or-later with the PyInstaller bootloader exception, which permits bundling with applications under other licenses. Consult the project's own COPYING.txt for the exact terms and for the parts it licenses differently
chromium-headless-shell (Playwright build) The headless browser behind the screenshot-preview tool BSD-3-Clause and other licenses, as for Chromium

Chromium's full credit list is the authoritative record for both the Electron shell and the headless shell; it is reachable from any Chromium-based browser at chrome://credits and is shipped as a license file inside the respective distributions.

Backend — principal direct dependencies

Declared in backend/pyproject.toml and resolved by backend/uv.lock.

Frontend — principal direct dependencies

Declared in frontend/package.json and resolved by frontend/pnpm-lock.yaml. The frontend is compiled into static assets at build time, so its dependency tree is far larger than the direct references below.

Component Role Declared license Project
React, React DOM UI runtime MIT https://github.com/facebook/react
React Router In-app routing (hash routing in the packaged app) MIT https://github.com/remix-run/react-router

Desktop shell

Declared in desktop/package.json.

Component Role Declared license Project
electron The application shell (see Bundled runtimes) MIT https://github.com/electron/electron
electron-updater Per-user NSIS update flow against the public GitHub Releases feed MIT https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder
@google/stitch-sdk The bundled experimental Google Stitch integration — key validation, prompt-to-screen generation and project import. Published by Google Labs, which states it is not an officially supported Google product Apache-2.0 https://www.npmjs.com/package/@google/stitch-sdk
cheerio Parses and rewrites Stitch HTML so accepted resources become bounded local assets MIT https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio

The shipped shell is built on Electron 44.4.3 with electron-updater 6.8.9, packaged by electron-builder 26.15.3. npm audit --omit=dev reports 0 vulnerabilities for the dependencies that are actually distributed.

External services, metadata formats and optional local software

These are integrations or inputs, not bundled dependencies. Their own terms, availability and content licences apply when you choose to use them.

Service or format How shot2code uses it Boundary and source
Iconify public API Optional canonical search_icons queries and SVG retrieval from the fixed https://api.iconify.design origin Iconify's public API accepted requests without an account or key when checked 2026-10-04, but Iconify publishes no fixed public quota or SLA; availability can change. Automatic results are restricted to a permissive SPDX allowlist, sanitized and localized with provenance. Upstream metadata can be wrong, and a copyright licence does not grant trademark rights. API documentation · icon sets
Openverse Optional search_free_images discovery of photographs, followed by a bounded local download No shot2code credential is sent. Only CC0 and Public Domain Mark records with source/licence links survive local checks; Openverse aggregates third-party metadata, so verify the source before commercial use. Anonymous access and provider limits can change. Terms · API
Ollama Optional local OpenAI-compatible endpoint through the existing Copilot SDK BYOK connection Ollama and every model are installed separately and are not redistributed. Local inference needs no paid API, but uses the user's hardware; model capabilities and licences vary, and Ollama cloud services are separate. OpenAI compatibility
Built Storybook metadata Reads a built index.json plus optional manifests/components.json and manifests/docs.json as compact design/component context shot2code does not bundle or run Storybook. Stories, CSF, bundles, addons, loaders, play functions and iframe.html are never loaded or executed. Storybook documentation

Vite, TypeScript, ESLint Frontend build and checks MIT

Code that shot2code generates

The output stacks — Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, Bulma, daisyUI, Ionic, Alpine.js, htmx, Preact, Vue, Material 3 and the rest — are referenced by generated projects, not redistributed inside the app. A generated single-file export loads them from their public CDNs, and a generated project folder declares them as ordinary dependencies that your own package manager resolves.

Their licenses therefore apply to the project you export, not to shot2code, and they are not listed here. Generated code is model output: review its licensing, correctness and security before you use it, as noted in SECURITY.md.

Authoritative manifests

Obtaining license texts

Full license texts are distributed with the packages themselves, not reproduced here. To resolve exact versions and their licenses from a checkout of the source:

cd backend;  uv tree
cd frontend; pnpm licenses list
cd desktop;  npm ls --all

Electron, Chromium and the headless shell ship their own license files inside the installed application directory; those files, not this summary, are the record for a bundled runtime.
