leonarski_fandClaude Opus 5 1eb9d5a2fa Notices: list traccc in the canonical third-party manifest
The SparseCCL connected-component labelling adapted from traccc is MPL-2.0 source in this tree, and
MPL-2.0 requires the notice to be conveyed with it. The licence text has always shipped
(licenses/traccc.txt, installed with the rest of licenses/ into share/doc/jfjoch) and
docs/ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.md has always credited it - but the root THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, which is the
manifest a recipient actually reads, never named it.

The generated docs/ copy DID name it, and more completely than a fresh row would have: both files
it touches, and a note explaining that only one of them adapts the source while the other follows
the design. So the fix is to carry that entry back into the canonical file rather than write a new
one - the generated copy had been edited directly at some point, against its own banner, and the
edit never reached the file it is generated from. Regenerating now reproduces docs/ byte for byte,
which is the check that the two are finally in step.

update_version.sh gains the link rewrite that entry needs: the acknowledgement is docs/ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.md
from the root and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.md from inside docs/, so without the rule the next regeneration
would have written a path that resolves nowhere.

Third-party software notices

Jungfraujoch is licensed under GPL-3.0 (see LICENSE); the FPGA design is licensed under CERN-OHL-S-2.0 (see fpga/LICENSE). It builds on a number of third-party components, acknowledged below as required by their licenses.

This file is the human-readable manifest. The verbatim license texts live in the licenses/ directory (regenerate with bash licenses/COLLECT.sh). The frontend's bundled JavaScript dependencies are listed separately in frontend/dist/THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt, generated at build time (npm run licenses).

All licenses below are GPL-3.0-compatible.

Fetched at build time and statically linked into the C++ binaries

These are downloaded by CMake (FetchContent / ExternalProject) during the first configure and linked into the Jungfraujoch executables.

Frontend (npm) dependencies

The React/TypeScript frontend (frontend/) bundles a large transitive tree of npm packages, overwhelmingly MIT/ISC/BSD/Apache-2.0 licensed. Their full notices are generated automatically:

cd frontend && npm run licenses     # writes dist/THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.txt

The generated file is produced as part of the frontend build target and installed alongside the served frontend, so the shipped web UI carries its own attribution.

Notes on weak-copyleft and attribution-sensitive components

  • MPL-2.0 (Eigen, GEMMI, libzmq, traccc): file-level copyleft. GEMMI is vendored in gemmi_gph/ in trimmed form; libzmq is fetched at build time; Eigen is provided externally (header-only). The corresponding source is available from each project upstream.
  • traccc is the one entry that is not a vendored directory. Its sparse connected-component labelling enters two otherwise first-party files: StrongPixelSet.cpp adapts the SparseCCL source, and SpotExtractorGPU.cu follows the design of its GPU counterpart. MPL-2.0 is file-level, so both files name the origin at the top and are covered by licenses/traccc.txt. See ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.md for the citation.
  • FFTW is GPL-2.0-or-later — compatible with, and absorbed by, this project's GPL-3.0 license.
  • Apache-2.0 components: where upstream ships a NOTICE file, it is reproduced in the corresponding licenses/ text.
  • Qt (LGPL-3.0) and NVIDIA CUDA (EULA) carry redistribution conditions beyond a copyright notice; see their dedicated notice files. The verbatim LGPL-3.0 and CUDA EULA texts are bundled (licenses/Qt6-LGPL-3.0.txt, licenses/NVIDIA-CUDA-EULA.txt); the CUDA EULA is the one shipped with CUDA Toolkit 12.8 — replace it if you build against a different toolkit version.
