Software and Download Licensing
Individual DPD software projects, themes, icon sets, documentation, and downloadable assets may use different licenses. The license included with each repository, release, download package, or project page governs that specific material.
Open-source availability does not place a work in the public domain. Users must follow the applicable license, attribution requirements, redistribution conditions, trademark restrictions, and third-party dependency licenses.
Where available, software should be obtained through the official DPD website or the official Dan Peters Designs Git repository. Release files may include checksums or hashes so users can verify file integrity.
Do not redistribute modified software or packages in a way that suggests they are official, approved, or supported releases from Dan Peters Designs.

Dan Peters Designs uses artificial-intelligence tools as part of selected creative and technical workflows. AI may assist with concept development, image generation, editing, writing drafts, research organization, code development, testing, narration, or production planning.
AI-assisted material is reviewed, selected, edited, arranged, or directed by Dan Peters Designs before publication. The extent of AI involvement varies by project.
AI-generated or AI-assisted material should not be assumed to reproduce real people, products, interfaces, events, or factual conditions unless it is clearly identified as documentary or based on verified source material. Product advertisements that show actual software interfaces may include genuine screenshots alongside designed or AI-assisted presentation elements.
