Licenses

BlueCaster is dual-licensed under the Apache License 2.0 or the MIT License, at your option (SPDX Apache-2.0 OR MIT). See LICENSE, LICENSE-APACHE and LICENSE-MIT.

The distributed bluecaster-core.exe includes BTstack, whose license allows use and redistribution only for personal, non-commercial purposes. BlueCaster is distributed only as the set of its programs, so this applies to the release. Commercial licenses are available from BlueKitchen GmbH.

The third-party components (BTstack, libldac, libopenaptx, fdk-aac, the LHDC V5 encoder, libopus, the aptX Adaptive encoder, the Rust crates, SolidJS and others), their pinned versions, licenses, obligations and patent, trademark and certification notes are listed in one place: THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md. The installer and the portable zip ship it with the license texts in a licenses/ folder next to the programs, and About links to the copy of each version.
