Provenant Notices
=================

Copyright (c) 2026 Provenant contributors.

Provenant is a Rust implementation for ScanCode-compatible workflows. It is not
affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by ScanCode Toolkit, AboutCode, or
nexB Inc.

Portions of Provenant are derived from the ScanCode Toolkit:

  - Engine code (Apache-2.0) ported to Rust and modified. Derived source files
    carry upstream nexB attribution alongside the Provenant copyright and a
    change notice. Some of this code further descends, via ScanCode, from
    Python's difflib under the Python Software Foundation License (PSF-2.0),
    Copyright (c) Python Software Foundation and others.
  - A license-detection dataset (CC-BY-4.0), modified from upstream: rules
    excluded, reclassified, or tightened, and some entries added. Each scan
    reports the exact modifications in its license-index provenance output.

Provenant does not redistribute the third-party packages that ScanCode bundles,
so upstream's "Third-party software licenses" notice does not pertain to this
work and is omitted.

The upstream notices reproduced below are copied verbatim from ScanCode's
NOTICE. The project is now hosted at
https://github.com/aboutcode-org/scancode-toolkit; the github.com/nexB URLs
below redirect there.

Provenant project code is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0; see
`LICENSE`.
