##A Note About Copyright##

This project as a whole is copywritten as of 2016, but various classes within the system have individual copyrights spanning back as far as 2011. In these cases, their copyright date will be represented within their opening comment in their actual source. All of this project without exception is licensed under the MIT license, and regardless of copyright, external useage should always be considered to fall within the scope of the legality if that license. Third party dependencies are independently licensed as per the definition of their original author, but we are taking great pains to insure that all dependencies either directly apply the MIT license, or apply a compatible, legally non-blocking open source license so this should not need to be a 3rd party useage consideration.

##A Note About 3rd Party Dependencies##

As of this writing, 3rd party dependencies are limited to Psr standards wherever they are implemented directly and provide interfaces for adherence, the Parsedown library for parsing markup into readable html, and the Browscap library for generating an easier snapshot of the client request environment.

We do not anticipate adding any additional required dependencies for production aside from any additional Psr standards that reach acceptance status and provide interfaces, but MAY add additional required dependencies for development or debugging purposes as needed for timely releases.

Eventually all debug and development dependencies will be migrated to an optional package that is not required for release core functionality, but this step is not yet attainable.

Oroboros currently depends upon Composer for installation, but factoring this out entirely is planned for the beta release. After that, usage of Composer will remain SUPPORTED but OPTIONAL. Composer is licensed under The MIT License, and thereby does not require any additional legal consideration beyond the licensing rights of this project.

Beyond this, Oroboros has no required dependencies that require legal consideration from 3rd party useage.
