Open-source licenses

Desksera tools are built on these open-source libraries. The LGPL libraries are shipped unmodified as separate files; their source code is at the linked pages, and anyone may swap in their own build.

Thank you to everyone who maintains them. The site's own code is written for this site; no code was copied from other PDF websites.

Artwork in the document makers

The botanical plates, roses and ornaments in the document makers come from these public domain and CC0 works. We cropped them, removed the old paper and traced the line art.
