Credits and license
Original code and academic project
Application code by Riccardo Ciucci. Originally developed for the Web Programming examination at the University of Pisa, taught by Alessio Vecchio, academic year 2023–2024.
Noncommercial education and personal use only
You may study, modify, and share the original code for noncommercial education, personal projects, and occasional recreation under the license below.
No resale, paid products or services, paid bundles, advertising, sponsorship, affiliate revenue, or related payments. Keep the author credit and license when sharing.
This summary is explanatory. The full English license is authoritative and applies only to rights the author can grant.

1. SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS
"Licensor" means the copyright holder granting rights under this license.
"Software" means the original source code, documentation, and other original
material that the Licensor expressly makes available under this license,
including copies, modifications, translations, and derivative works of that
material. "You" means any person or organization exercising these rights.
The Software does not include third-party software, music, recordings, film
texts, fonts, artwork, logos, trademarks, or user submissions merely because
they appear in this repository or an application built from it. Those materials
remain subject to their own rights and terms. See NOTICE and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.
The Licensor grants only rights that the Licensor owns or is authorized to grant.
2. PERMITTED PURPOSES AND GRANT
Subject to every condition below, the Licensor grants You a worldwide,
non-exclusive, royalty-free copyright license to use, study, execute, copy,
modify, and distribute the Software solely for:
(a) noncommercial education, teaching, learning, academic research, or evaluation;
(b) personal, private, occasional recreational or hobby use; and
(c) free, noncommercial demonstrations and sharing serving those purposes.
A free educational demonstration may be publicly accessible. Public access is
not permission to monetize it or to use third-party material without authority.
There is no numerical limit on classroom uses that otherwise meet these terms.
3. COMMERCIAL USE AND MONETIZATION ARE PROHIBITED
You must not use, distribute, modify, provide access to, or otherwise exploit
the Software, any substantial part of it, or a work based on it for commercial
advantage or direct or indirect financial gain. In particular, You must not:
(a) sell, resell, rent, sublicense for a fee, or charge for copies, access,
execution, generated intros, hosting, or services based on the Software;
(b) bundle, embed, package, or incorporate it into a paid product, application,
subscription, hosted service, paid course, or paid distribution, even if
the Software is described as a free component or optional extra;
(c) operate an advertising-supported use, or place operator-controlled
advertisements, paid promotions, sponsorships, or affiliate monetization
in or alongside the Software, its outputs, or pages providing access to it;
(d) solicit or receive donations, tips, crowdfunding, or other payments in
connection with access to, distribution of, or services using the Software;
(e) use it as part of paid client work, paid events, commercial marketing,
commercial internal operations, or another revenue-generating offering; or
(f) evade these restrictions by removing branding, making changes, routing
payments through another person, or charging for an associated component.
These restrictions apply even if revenue only covers operating costs, no profit
is made, or the operator is an educational institution or nonprofit organization.
Ordinary academic study and use of the Software to complete coursework are
permitted when they are not themselves a paid offering under this section.
4. DISTRIBUTION, MODIFICATIONS, AND ATTRIBUTION
Every distribution of the Software, including a modified copy or container
image, must be free of charge and include this complete license, the Licensor's
copyright notice, NOTICE, and applicable third-party notices. Mark modified
versions clearly with the fact and date of modification. Do not claim that Your
changes were made, approved, or supported by the original author.
Keep a reasonably visible author credit and an accessible link or copy of this
license in public applications and demonstrations. You may change the layout
and wording of a credit if its meaning and accessibility are preserved.
You may not offer the Licensor's material under conflicting or less restrictive
terms. Your additions must not remove these conditions from that material.
Recipients receive rights to that material directly under this license.
Independent third-party components retain their own licenses; this license
does not restrict rights granted separately by their respective owners.
5. THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS AND NO ENDORSEMENT
No copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, music, recording, performance,
patent, or other right belonging to a third party is granted by this license.
You are responsible for obtaining any separate rights Your use requires,
including rights to publish or redistribute bundled assets and submitted text.
The Licensor does not warrant that those permissions have been obtained.
No affiliation with, sponsorship by, approval from, or endorsement by Disney,
Lucasfilm, any university, or any other third party is implied. Names used to
identify third-party works do not grant permission to use their marks.
A credit, educational purpose, noncommercial purpose, or disclaimer is not a
guarantee of lawful use or protection against a rights holder's claim.
6. RIGHTS RESERVED AND TERMINATION
All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Uses outside these terms require
prior written permission from every relevant rights holder. This license does
not authorize the Licensor to grant permission for material owned by others.
Your rights under this license terminate automatically upon a material breach.
You must then stop using and distributing the Software and delete copies under
Your control, except copies that applicable law requires You to retain. Rights
of recipients who independently comply with this license are not terminated
solely because of Your breach. Reinstatement requires the Licensor's written
agreement. Obligations and limitations that by their nature must survive do so.
7. NO WARRANTY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED
"AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT.
THE LICENSOR DOES NOT PROMISE THAT USING OR DISTRIBUTING THE SOFTWARE OR ITS
ASSETS WILL AVOID THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LICENSOR AND CONTRIBUTORS
ARE NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM THIS LICENSE OR
FROM THE SOFTWARE OR ITS USE, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, INTERRUPTION,
OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED
OF THE POSSIBILITY. NOTHING EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.
8. MANDATORY LAW AND INTERPRETATION
This license does not limit statutory exceptions, rights, or remedies that
cannot lawfully be restricted. If a provision is unenforceable, it is limited
only as far as necessary, and the remaining provisions continue to apply.
The English text is authoritative; summaries and translations are explanatory.
This is a custom source-available license, not an OSI-approved open-source
license. It does not alter licenses previously and validly granted by others.
Project rights notice (English)
Star Wars Intro — project and rights notice
Original application code: Copyright (c) 2026 Riccardo Ciucci.
Educational and Personal Noncommercial License 1.0; see LICENSE.
Project and rights inquiries: https://github.com/Richie314/StarWarsIntro/issues
Author: https://ciucci.dev
Originally developed for the Web Programming examination in the Computer
Engineering degree at the University of Pisa, academic year 2023–2024,
taught by Alessio Vecchio. This describes the project's origin; it does not
imply university sponsorship, endorsement, or ownership of third-party assets.
This is an unofficial educational fan project. It is not affiliated with,
sponsored by, or endorsed by Lucasfilm Ltd., The Walt Disney Company, or their
affiliates. STAR WARS and associated names, marks, characters, and film material
are the property of their respective rights holders. Rights in compositions
and recordings may be held by different parties; this project does not claim
to grant either set of rights.
The code license does NOT license bundled movie music, film opening texts,
Star Wars logos, character artwork, fonts, or other third-party material.
Permission for those items is not established by their inclusion in the
repository. See THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES for the known sources and open questions.
User-written intros remain the responsibility of their authors; no ownership
of them is claimed through the application code license.
Noncommercial or educational use, attribution, and an absence of intent to
infringe do not themselves establish permission or a legal exception. These
notices do not shield the author or users from copyright or trademark claims.
Obtain the required permissions or replace/remove uncleared material before
public redistribution or deployment. The current assets are retained for the
project's existing demonstration; their rights are not represented as cleared.
Rights holders can contact the author through the project link above to
identify affected material and request review or removal. This review channel
is not a substitute for obtaining permission and is not a claim of statutory
safe-harbor status. Do not post confidential documents in a public issue.
Third-party inventory (English)
Third-party credits and rights inventory
======================================
The application license covers only material the author can license. This
inventory gives known credits; entries marked unverified are NOT permission
to copy, redistribute, publish, or relicense the corresponding material.
Film material — separate permission not documented
-------------------------------------------------
* assets/intro.mp3: Star Wars-related soundtrack recording. Star Wars film
music was composed by John Williams. The precise recording, performer,
publisher, master owner, source, and redistribution permission for this
particular file are not documented in the repository. Composition and
sound-recording rights must be cleared separately; ownership must not be
attributed wholesale to a single company without verifying the recording.
Composer reference: https://www.lucasfilm.com/productions/music-by-john-williams/
* preload/en/*.json and preload/it/*.json: transcribed film opening crawls and
titles, in English and Italian. Underlying film text and translation rights
remain with the relevant rights holders. Their preservation as data files
does not put them under the application's code license.
* assets/img/starwarslogo.svg: Star Wars logo artwork and associated marks.
* assets/img/benkenobi.svg: depiction of a Star Wars character.
* assets/sitelogo.svg: composite site artwork containing Star Wars imagery.
* docs/images/dashboard.png: screenshot of the application that may reproduce
some of the above material; it does not create new rights in that material.
Star Wars-related material is associated with Lucasfilm Ltd. and The Walt
Disney Company. This project is unofficial and is not endorsed by them.
No permission from those companies is asserted. Official permission inquiry:

https://disneypermissions.my.salesforce-sites.com/WelcomeIntakePage
Font — author identified; distribution terms unverified
-------------------------------------------------------
assets/aurebesh.ttf identifies its designer in its embedded name table as
Neale Davidson and contains: "Aurebesh © (Neale Davidson). 2013. All Rights
Reserved". A redistribution or web-embedding grant for this precise file is
not included in the repository. This is not a claim that it is licensed by
other designers of similarly named Aurebesh fonts. Obtain its actual terms
or replace it before relying on redistribution permission.
Vector icons and artwork — mixed provenance
-------------------------------------------
The original project credits SVG Repo (https://www.svgrepo.com) as a source
of icons and Figma (https://www.figma.com) as an authoring tool. SVG Repo is
a catalogue of works under different licenses, not proof that every icon
has one common license. Individual source pages and author records were not
retained for most files in assets/img/. Verify them individually; no blanket
permission or public-domain status is claimed here. GitHub, Figma, and other
brand marks remain subject to their owners' rights.
assets/img/italy.svg contains adapted Twemoji artwork and identifiers; its
SVG wrapper and path representation differ from the upstream file. Credit:
Twemoji graphics, Copyright Twitter, Inc. and other contributors, licensed
under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0):
https://github.com/twitter/twemoji
https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/blob/master/assets/svg/1f1ee-1f1f9.svg
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
The file is used as an Italian language flag in this application's interface.
This attribution is not a license for other, unrelated flag or icon files.
Software dependencies — independent licenses
--------------------------------------------
* richie314/simple-mvc: Riccardo Ciucci / Richie314.
https://github.com/Richie314/Php-Simple-MVC
The installed v1.1.0 distribution contains an Apache License 2.0 LICENSE;
its Composer metadata reports "proprietary". The bundled license text is
reproduced in licenses/simple-mvc-LICENSE.txt. Review the actual upstream
distribution and resolve the metadata discrepancy before redistributing
it under an assumed license. This project's restrictions do not amend it.
* jQuery 4.0.0: Copyright OpenJS Foundation and other contributors.
https://jquery.com/ — MIT; text in licenses/jquery-LICENSE.txt.
Loaded from the jQuery CDN for shared pages and used in development checks.
* jsdom and its transitive npm dependencies are development-only. Their
respective package licenses and notices remain in their npm distributions;
node_modules is excluded from the application image.
* PHP, Nginx, MariaDB, Composer, Xdebug, Supervisor, the base image, and other
container packages retain their independent upstream licenses and notices.
Their inclusion does not place them under the application's restrictions.
Figma is credited as a tool, not as the owner or licensor of all vector work.
Other than the credits identified above, no authorship or license has been
inferred merely from a filename, an icon's appearance, or a download site.
