Open-Source Components of the App
The open-source libraries the Andronix app uses to run Linux without Termux (proot, talloc, libandroid-shmem, virglrenderer, libepoxy), their licenses, where their source code is, and our written offer.
The Andronix app runs Linux distros without Termux using these native libraries. Each app release lists the exact versions; for this release:
| Library | Component | Version | License |
|---|---|---|---|
libproot.so, libproot-loader.so | proot (Termux's fork) | 5.1.107.96 | GPL-2.0 |
libtalloc.so | talloc | 2.5.0 | LGPL-3.0-or-later |
inside libproot.so | libandroid-shmem | 0.7 | BSD-3-Clause |
libvirgl.so | virglrenderer (with our Android patch), libepoxy | 1.3.0, 1.5.10 | MIT |
libandronix.so, libandronixpresent.so | Andronix | Andronix's own license |
Where the source is
The GitHub release standalone-2.1.0 (Andronix 10.1) has, for exactly the libraries in this app version:
- the unmodified source archives of proot, talloc and libandroid-shmem;
- the virglrenderer and libepoxy archives and
virglrenderer-android.patch, our only change to any of these components; SHA256SUMSfor those files and for the six libraries in the app, andbuild.jsonwith the versions;- the license texts.
For the 10.1 beta (10.1.0-beta17), the same files are in the release standalone-2.1.0-dev26.
The scripts that build the libraries, with every build setting, are in the repository's standalone/ folder at that release's tag. The build is reproducible: following standalone/README.md gives the same files, byte for byte, as those in the app.
Written offer
For at least three years after we last distribute a given app version, Andronix will give anyone who asks a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code of the GPL and LGPL components above, on a medium customarily used for software interchange or by download, for a charge no more than the cost of physically performing the distribution. Write to support@andronix.app and name the app version (Settings, About).
talloc (LGPL)
libtalloc.so is a separate shared library in the app, loaded by proot at run time, not linked into it.
