Third-Party Notices

Morphé is built on open-source software. This page lists every third-party component we distribute with the plug-in and names the licence each one is offered under.

Nothing in the Morphé Terms of Service limits the rights these licences give you over the components they cover. Where a Morphé term and a component's own licence disagree about that component, the component's licence governs. That is written into the terms themselves, at section 23.

• 1. Two components that give you extra rights
• 2. What is installed with Morphé
• 3. Native components
• 4. Rust components
• 5. Licence texts
• 6. What is not distributed with Morphé

1. Two components that give you extra rights

Most components below ask only to be credited, which this page and the notices file do. Two ask for more, and both hand you something worth knowing about.

Neither licence places any obligation on the Grasshopper definitions you write or on the geometry you produce. That work is yours.

2. What is installed with Morphé

Morphé installs one Grasshopper assembly, one native runtime, and seven supporting native libraries.

3. Native components

"Compiled in" means the component's code forms part of MorpheRuntime.dll; "separate DLL" means it ships as its own file. Every one of them is used unmodified except where noted.

Zstandard is offered under a choice of BSD 3-Clause or GPLv2. We elect the BSD 3-Clause option, so no GPL obligation arises from Morphé's use of it. The compression libraries below c-blosc are reached through OpenVDB, which uses them to compress volume grids.

4. Rust components

Morphé's geometry kernel and its GPU preview are written in Rust and compiled into MorpheRuntime.dll. The list below is every third-party crate linked into the shipped build — 203 of them — with the licence expression each crate declares.

"A OR B" means the crate offers a choice of licences. Where a choice exists we take the MIT option if MIT is among them, and otherwise the first permissive option listed. The Fidget crates are our modified fork; see section 1.

5. Licence texts

Every licence named on this page is reproduced in full, verbatim, in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt — the same file that installs with the plug-in. It contains the Apache 2.0, MIT, BSD 2-Clause, BSD 3-Clause, Mozilla Public License 2.0, LGPL v3, GPL v3, Boost Software License 1.0, zlib, ISC, CC0 1.0 and Unicode v3 licences, together with the individual copyright notices of each component.

The GPL v3 appears there because the LGPL v3 covering mmg is drafted as a set of additional permissions on top of it and incorporates it by reference. No part of Morphé is distributed under the GPL, and nothing in it reaches your Grasshopper definitions or your geometry.

6. What is not distributed with Morphé

Listed for completeness, because they appear in Morphé's source tree or build configuration and would otherwise raise a question for anyone reviewing our work. None of them is distributed to you.

RhinoCommon and Grasshopper (Robert McNeel & Associates)

Morphé is built against the Rhino 8 SDK and runs inside Rhino, but redistributes no part of it. The build references those assemblies with runtime assets excluded, so nothing McNeel-owned is copied into the Morphé output. Your Rhino licence covers Rhino.

parry3d

A Rust collision library used only as a test-time stand-in for FCPW. It is an optional dependency that the production build switches off, so it is never compiled and never shipped.

Build-time tools

bindgen, yasm, pkgconf and the vcpkg helper ports run on our machines to produce the build. Their code is not part of the result.
