Software licences
The search app is our own work and is not open source. The components below are by others; their licences follow. See also the About page.

BOINC wrapper
The program that starts the search app inside BOINC is BOINC's standard wrapper, Copyright (C) 2014 University of California, licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3 or (at your option) any later version, which builds on the GNU General Public License version 3. BOINC comes with no warranty.
Source: github.com/BOINC/boinc, tag
wrapper/26019, directory samples/wrapper. The Windows app uses BOINC's own release build of
that tag unchanged. Our Linux build is linked statically with libzip 1.10.1 and zlib and has one change, in
samples/wrapper/wrapper.cpp, which lets the app receive a longer command line:
- char arglist[4096]; + char arglist[65536];
It is built from that tag with ./_autosetup; ./configure --disable-server --disable-client --disable-manager
--disable-shared --enable-static, then make in lib, api, zip
and samples/wrapper (with LDFLAGS=-static).
