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 licenses/SLJIT-LICENSE.txt. Sources: https://github.com/PCRE2Project/pcre2 and https://github.com/zherczeg/sljit.

Architectural references:

• SwiftList, MIT licensed: https://github.com/SwiftList/SwiftList, local reference commit ef39db8c2aac8507130b789d5448f5305c5dfd27. Its notice is included in licenses/SwiftList-LICENSE.txt as reference attribution.
• Everything search syntax: https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/searching/.
• Everything service model: https://www.voidtools.com/en-us/support/everything/everything_service/.

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.
