This file lists third-party components distributed with "The" (the "Software")
whose licenses require a notice, attribution, inclusion of license text, or the

Third-party components remain the property of their respective copyright

IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING THE Qt TOOLKIT (LGPL v3)
================================================================================
This Software uses the Qt toolkit under the terms of the GNU Lesser General
Public License version 3 (LGPLv3).
Component: Qt
Version: 6.11.1
Copyright: Copyright (C) 2026 The Qt Company Ltd. and other
contributors.
Home page: https://www.qt.io
SPDX identifier: LGPL-3.0-only
License text: licenses/LGPL-3.0.txt and licenses/GPL-3.0.txt
(LGPLv3 incorporates GPLv3 by reference; both texts are
provided.)
Qt modules used by this Software:
Qt Core, Qt GUI, Qt Widgets, Qt SVG, Qt Concurrent, Qt Network,
Qt PDF, Qt PDF Widgets
Qt plugins distributed with this Software:
platforms/, imageformats/, tls/, styles/, iconengines/,
networkinformation/, generic/
YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE LGPL v3
Qt is linked DYNAMICALLY. You are entitled to obtain the complete
corresponding source code of the Qt version distributed with this Software,
to modify it, and to replace the Qt libraries shipped with this Software with
your own modified, interface-compatible versions.
The Qt shared libraries are distributed as separate, unencrypted files
alongside the application executable and may be replaced by you.
HOW TO OBTAIN THE Qt SOURCE CODE
Qt is used WITHOUT MODIFICATION. The complete corresponding source code for
Qt 6.11.1 — the exact version whose binaries are distributed with this
Software — is the unmodified upstream release, available at:
https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/6.11/6.11.1/single/
qt-everywhere-src-6.11.1.tar.xz
SHA-256:
252acef8c5ae68074d91cadba2ee4a83465051bbb970dd26e8f0daa0f3904e03
Please note that this is the SOURCE archive. The Qt online installer is not
the corresponding source: it delivers pre-built binaries and does not satisfy
the purpose of this notice.
Should that address become unavailable, or if you prefer to receive the
source directly, you may request a copy at any time under the written offer
set out in the file LGPL-COMPLIANCE, or by contacting legal@talyh.com. The
Rights Holder remains responsible for making the corresponding source
available for as long as required, irrespective of the availability of any
third-party server.
HOW TO RELINK THIS SOFTWARE WITH A MODIFIED Qt
Instructions for replacing the Qt libraries, and the written offer to provide
the object code of this Software for relinking purposes, are set out in the
accompanying LGPL-COMPLIANCE document.
THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS EMBEDDED WITHIN Qt
Qt modules contain further third-party components (including PCRE2, HarfBuzz,
FreeType, libpng, libjpeg-turbo, libtiff, libwebp, giflib, md4c; Qt PDF
contains PDFium under BSD-3-Clause). The complete attribution list for these
