Every component here is loaded unmodified and credited with a link to its project

Last updated: 9 September 2026

Credits, in plain English

GigXchange runs on open-source software. Where a licence asks us to say so publicly, we do it here: the component, what it does inside the product, the licence it is used under, and a link to the project.

What we credit

One card per credited component. The fine print lives at the linked project; this is the plain-English version.

MP3 encoding

LAME MP3 encoder

The track trimmer converts your clip to MP3 in your own browser using LAME, via the @breezystack/lamejs port of lamejs. LAME is free software from lame.sourceforge.io, used under the GNU LGPL v3. We load it as a separate, unmodified file and do not change its source.

How we use open source

Credit where the licence asks for it

GigXchange is built on a great deal of open-source software. Most of it is MIT- or Apache-licensed and needs no public notice. This page lists the components whose licences ask for an acknowledgement, with a link to each project. New notices are added here as they arrive.
