norvi-os — provenance and third-party notices
===============================================

Origin
------
Original work, first committed 2026-07-20 and published at
https://github.com/spencercnorton/norvi-os. Not a fork.

Scope of the GPL
----------------
LICENSE (GPL-3.0-or-later) covers every repository-authored file except the
brand artwork named below. That includes install.sh, uninstall.sh, desktop/,
docs/, README.md and plymouth/norvitech.plymouth.
LICENSE itself is the verbatim GNU GPL text, copyright the Free Software
Foundation and distributed under its own notice; it is not licensed under
GPL-3.0-or-later.

Third-party runtime input
-------------------------
This repository vendors no third-party source or artwork. At installation time,
install.sh copies the animation files already installed by Ubuntu's
plymouth-theme-spinner package from /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner into the
locally assembled NorviTech theme so Plymouth can include them in the initramfs.
Those files are not part of this repository or its source package. They retain
Plymouth's GPL-2.0-or-later terms and copyright notices, available on Ubuntu in
/usr/share/doc/plymouth-theme-spinner/copyright.

Brand artwork — NOT under the GPL
---------------------------------
The following are NorviTech brand assets and are not licensed under the GPL:

  assets/preview-variants.png

Copyright 2026 Spencer Norton. All rights reserved, with one
permission granted: these files may be redistributed verbatim as part of an
unmodified NorviTech Edition package or image. They may not be modified, and

  License short name for debian/copyright: LicenseRef-Norvi-Brand

Provenance of the source artwork: assets/source/NorviTech_logo.webp was drawn
by hand by Spencer Norton. It was not commissioned, not generated by an image
model, and not derived from stock or template artwork; every derived SVG and
PNG in this directory descends from that file. No third-party rights attach to
it and no external contract governs its use.

plymouth/norvitech.plymouth is a theme configuration file, not artwork, and is
covered by LICENSE.
