# Third-Party Notices
Ripster uses and orchestrates third-party software and services. These
components remain subject to their own licenses, copyright notices and terms of
use.
The Ripster license does not replace or modify the licenses of these
third-party components.
## Bundled HandBrakeCLI
Ripster includes a separately executable build of HandBrakeCLI to provide
hardware-accelerated video encoding on supported Linux systems.
HandBrakeCLI is an independent third-party program developed by the HandBrake
project. It is not part of the original Ripster source code and is not licensed
under Ripster's `GPL-2.0-or-later` license.
The bundled HandBrakeCLI executable is distributed under the GNU General Public
License version 2 (`GPL-2.0-only`).
The corresponding license text, build information, checksums, build scripts,
patches and corresponding source notes are provided under:
- `third_party/handbrake/COPYING`
- `third_party/handbrake/BUILDINFO.md`
- `third_party/handbrake/SHA256SUMS`
- `third_party/handbrake/build-handbrake.sh`
- `third_party/handbrake/patches/`
- `third_party/handbrake/source/`
The currently bundled binary contains FDK-AAC related strings. Redistribution
of this binary is marked as unresolved until a separate legal review is
completed or the binary is replaced by a clean rebuild without FDK-AAC.
Ripster is not affiliated with or endorsed by the HandBrake project.
