Open source acknowledgements

Last updated: April 27, 2026

Picmal wouldn't exist without a lot of other people's open-source work. Here's what the app bundles, where to find each project's source, and which license it ships under.

Most of the source links below point straight at the upstream project. If one rots, email support@picmal.app and I'll send the source tarball directly — free, for at least three years after each release that includes the component.

Want the corresponding source for any of the GPL, LGPL, or AGPL components above? Email support@picmal.app and I'll send it. This offer stands for at least three years from the release of the Picmal version that bundled the component, per GPL-2.0 § 3(b), GPL-3.0 § 6(b), and LGPL-2.1 § 6.
