## 3. Bundled or redistributed content

  Source reference found in bundled archive: `Code-the-Classics/README.md`
  Additional bundled reference: `Code-the-Classics/README (2).md`

  Redistribution note: binary redistribution is permitted if the copyright
  notice, license conditions, and disclaimer are reproduced in the documentation
  and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
  Packaging note: NetMon ships a separate `CODE_THE_CLASSICS_LICENSE.txt`
  alongside package documentation to satisfy this notice requirement.

## 4. External system tools invoked by NetMon

NetMon can call installed system programs that are not shipped as part of the
main Python application. These tools remain under the licenses of their
respective upstream projects and Linux distribution packages.

Examples include:

- `ufw`
- `nmcli` / NetworkManager
- `wg` / `wireguard-tools`
- `curl`
- `dig` / `dnsutils`
- `traceroute`
- `mtr`
- `nmap`
- `iftop`
- `htop`
- `lynis`
- `rkhunter`
- `clamav` / `freshclam`
- `mpv`
- `speedtest` / `speedtest-cli`
- `cryptsetup`
- `whois`
- `xdg-open`

These programs are not relicensed by NetMon. Their original authors and
maintainers should be credited through their respective package metadata,
project pages, and distribution documentation.

## 5. Release follow-up before public distribution

The following items should be checked again before a final public package or
website release:

- Verify whether `Code-the-Classics.zip` may be redistributed in the exact form
  bundled by NetMon whenever the bundled archive content changes materially.
- If `PySide6` is actually shipped in a NetMon release path, confirm whether
  the corresponding Qt for Python license texts should be added to the package
  documentation.
- If `reportlab` is declared as a supported local build dependency for end
  users, consider adding its original license text or a more exact upstream
  reference.
- For Debian-style packages, consider also copying or referencing relevant
  upstream license texts in `/usr/share/doc/netmon/` if the packaged release
  redistributes those components directly.

## 6. Developer and attribution note

NetMon project lead:

- Happy

Technical assistance credited in the application:

This notice file is a practical attribution overview for the project. It does
