Licences and attributions
PickUp Note is built on open data that other people collected and gave away. Their licences ask for credit in return. This page is that credit, and it lists only sources the software actually uses — nothing here is decorative.
Severe-weather warnings — MeteoAlarm
This deployment polls no MeteoAlarm feed. No severe-weather warning is fetched, stored or shown, so no credit is owed here yet. When an operator configures one or more warning feeds, the correct credit — the national meteorological service for a single country, or the European aggregate for several — is generated onto this page automatically, along with the licence it is used under.
In the meantime the app reports that it does not know whether a warning is in force, rather than reporting that none is. A fabricated all-clear is the one error here with a safety cost.
This page does not by itself discharge that obligation for the app. An attribution licence asks for the credit to travel with the material it credits, and somebody reading a storm warning inside PickUp Note has no reason to open a website. A Licences screen inside the app is still required, and until one exists the warnings path is not fit for public release. The credit line is already computed and stored alongside every polled feed, so that screen will have the correct text to show the day it is built.
Weather forecasts — MET Norway
Forecast data comes from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway), whose open data is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence and the Norwegian Licence for Open Government Data (NLOD) 2.0.
Weather forecast data from MET Norway
Used under CC BY 4.0 / NLOD 2.0.
Only a coarse grid square is ever sent when a forecast is fetched — never your position, and never anything identifying you, your phone or your household. The privacy policy gives the exact size of that square.
Places, shops and opening hours — OpenStreetMap
Searching for a shop by name, finding shops near you and reading opening hours use OpenStreetMap data, through Nominatim (search) and Overpass (nearby places and opening hours). OpenStreetMap data is made available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL) 1.0; individual map tiles and content may carry their own terms.
Place data © OpenStreetMap contributors
Used under ODbL 1.0.
OpenStreetMap is a volunteer project. If a shop near you is wrong or missing, the fix belongs in OpenStreetMap itself, where it helps everyone rather than only us.
Product names from barcodes — Open Food Facts
When you scan a barcode PickUp Note does not recognise, the number — and nothing else — is looked up in Open Food Facts, a collaborative, open database of food products. Its database is made available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL), with the individual records under the Database Contents Licence.
Product data from Open Food Facts
Used under ODbL.
Product photographs from that database are not used. They carry a share-alike licence of their own, and the app is never sent an image address at all — only the name, brand and size.
Platform services
Sign-in, in-app purchases and push notification delivery are provided by Apple and by Google under their own terms. On Apple devices, searching for a place by name may be handled on the device by Apple Maps, under Apple’s terms, without passing through our server. Apple, the Apple logo, App Store, Google, Google Play and OpenStreetMap are trademarks of their respective owners; their use here is descriptive and implies no endorsement.
Software included in the app
The PickUp Note app and its server are built with open-source libraries, each under its own licence. The complete inventory is generated from the project’s dependency lockfiles at release time and is not published here yet:
[TO BE COMPLETED: bundled open-source component inventory, generated from the mobile and backend lockfiles]
Naming the gap rather than listing a plausible subset: a licence page that quietly omits half the dependencies is a licence page with a hole in it, and a hand-written list goes stale the first time a package is upgraded.
