Thread uses icons from Font Awesome. These are licensed under the Creative Commons license (CC BY 4.0). Font Awesome states they handle sufficient attribution within their files (a license condition of use). Nonetheless, we wish to link to the license and state we have not made any modifications to the files.
Arachne uses a number of open-source components. Unfortunately it’s a common problem that a number of for-profit organisations who use open-source do not give back to the projects they take advantage of.
Arachne strives to support the projects it uses either through donating a portion of profits, or through dedicated developer time to work on bugs and fixes. The form of support will be decided on a case-by-case basis, in consultation with the maintainers of these existing projects where possible.
In cases where projects have been abandoned, Arachne will make the best efforts to fork the project and maintain a repository of the project.
