# Third-party notices and references

WLocate is a native C++ implementation. It does not link to, launch, or require
Everything, SwiftList, the Everything service, or the .NET runtime.

The binary statically includes PCRE2 10.49, upstream commit
`6f9d7c1373262c541324a16a358785b33ef116cf`, and its pinned SLJIT dependency
`de0259c7aaf36aa40cba8014f3fad3edde9307f9`.
Their complete redistribution notices are in `licenses/PCRE2-LICENCE.md` and

The user's installed Everything 1.4.1.1032 was inspected locally with IDA MCP.
The reference executable's SHA-256 is
`F191F756996A14A11E5445FA7103D302EFD510CF2FBF920E6C0C8ED51D512E36`.
Observed query dispatch routines at `0x1400af3b0` and `0x1400ae4b0` partition
file/folder work and combine results; the NTFS record-reading routine is at
`0x1400cfe80`. These observations informed architectural choices. WLocate's
source is independently implemented; the Everything executable, SDK binary
and decompiled code are not included in the release package. No affiliation
with or endorsement by Voidtools or SwiftList is implied.

WLocate's green magnifying-glass icon is original vector artwork inspired by
Everything's magnifying-glass silhouette. Editable SVG and the reproducible
multi-resolution ICO generator are included in the source tree.
