THIRD-PARTY NOTICES

The MIT license above covers the source code in this repository. It does not,
and cannot, relicense third-party work.

BUNDLED ARTWORK — the cburnett chess piece set by Colin M.L. Burnett, obtained
via python-chess's chess.svg.PIECES and redistributed here as the base64 PNGs in
chessformer_lens/piece_art.py. Triple-licensed by its author under GFDL / BSD /
GPL; this project uses it under the BSD option, which is compatible with MIT.
Attribution to Colin M.L. Burnett is required, and is given here and in
chessformer_lens/pieces.py. (pieces.py itself contains no artwork — it reads
chess.svg.PIECES at import time.)

DEPENDENCIES — python-chess (GPL-3.0-or-later) and maia3 (AGPL-3.0) are
installed by pip and no code from either is copied into this repository, so
using this project, and redistributing its source under MIT, are unaffected.
Redistributing a BUNDLE that ships them alongside it — a Docker image, a conda
package, a frozen binary, a vendored copy — makes that bundle a combined work,
which must then satisfy GPL-3.0, and AGPL-3.0 including its network-use clause
if maia3 is in it. Get a combined artifact or a hosted service reviewed rather
than relying on this summary.

MODEL WEIGHTS — Maia-3 checkpoints are downloaded at runtime from
https://huggingface.co/UofTCSSLab and are not covered by this license. Check the
model card before redistributing weights.
