The included source README permits free personal and commercial use, with no attribution requirement. Originals, README and downloaded ZIP are preserved in `assets/source`. No replacement figure artwork was generated.

Menu illustration: supplied by the user on 22 October 2026. Original image retained in `assets/source/menu/`; derived native artwork in `assets/runtime/menu_background.png`.

Title logo: **Cinzel**, Natanael Gama and contributors, from the official Google Fonts repository:

UI/menu: **m5x7**, Daniel Linssen, CC0 1.0 Universal:

Cinzel uses the SIL Open Font License 1.1. m5x7 uses Creative Commons Zero 1.0. Original copyright/license texts are retained in `assets/source/fonts/` and included alongside the standalone build. Runtime uses one native PNG glyph atlas and a baked transparent logo; TTF files are build-time sources only.

The earlier Silkscreen source (Jason Kottke and contributors, SIL OFL 1.1) remains archived in assets/source/fonts but its 11/12 px atlases are excluded from the release after the native-grid typography correction.

Original prototype: chess rules, CPU search, UI, legacy 5×7 fallback alphabet, sound synthesis and conversion tools. Sounds are short synthesized PCM tones, not third-party samples.

Runtime: Godot 4.7.2, MIT license. Standalone folder includes Godot and third-party notices.

Development reference only: python-chess 1.11.2 (Niklas Fiekas and contributors). It generated the static rule/SAN fixtures; no python-chess code is part of the game runtime.
