Third-party notices

Caputchin uses open-source software and assets from third parties. This page carries the attribution and license text their terms require. It sits alongside the per-package notices that ship inside each marketplace game's own repository.

Phobos game engine (DOOM engine, GPL-2.0-only)

The Phobos game runs a real DOOM engine, compiled from a patched copy of doomgeneric (itself derived from Chocolate Doom and the original DOOM source that id Software released under the GPL in 1999). Because the Phobos game links that engine, the game as a whole is distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 (GPL-2.0-only).

  • Copyright (C) 1993-1996 id Software, Inc.
  • Copyright (C) 2005-2014 Simon Howard and the Chocolate Doom contributors.
  • Copyright (C) the doomgeneric contributors.

The complete corresponding source for the engine as shipped, including the Phobos patches, is available in the Phobos game's source repository (its engine/ directory), offered under the same GPL-2.0 terms. The full text of GPL version 2 is available at gnu.org.

The live bundle also embeds fflate (MIT), used only to gunzip the engine on browsers without the native DecompressionStream API.

Freedoom game data and face artwork (BSD-3-Clause)

The Phobos game in our catalog, and the marine face used as the Phobos widget's brand mark, are built from assets of the Freedoom project, a free and libre replacement for the DOOM game data. No id Software game data, artwork, or branding is used.

The Phobos face artwork used as a widget brand mark is part of this Freedoom data, under the BSD-3-Clause license above. It is not part of the GPL-licensed engine described above.
