# Third-party notices Shoal is built on open-source work. The notices below apply to every copy of this software, including the distributed application bundle, which carries this file at `Contents/Resources/THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`. ## desktop-habitats (MIT) The scene under `Web/` (Riverscape: fish, plants, water, feeding, rendering) and the macOS host design are derived from [chaseleantj/desktop-habitats](https://github.com/chaseleantj/desktop-habitats), vendored at the commit recorded in `Web/UPSTREAM`.

CC0 requires no attribution; the credit is given anyway. ## Ambient sound loop (this project) `Shoal/Resources/Audio/ambient-water.m4a` is not a third-party work; it is part of this project. The file is generated by `Scripts/generate-ambient-loop.py`, a deterministic synthesizer (seed 583137) written against the Python standard library only: a low-passed brown-noise water bed with a slow swell and sparse bubble ticks, crossfaded into a seamless 23 s loop and encoded to AAC with macOS `afconvert`. It contains no recordings and no third-party samples. `Scripts/generate-ambient-loop.py --check` re-renders the audio and verifies the committed file against it.
