THIRD-PARTY SOURCE — the LGPL source offer for Simpler Tax 1.0.0 ================================================================= Simpler Tax's installer carries libvips as two ordinary DLLs (lib\libvips-42.dll and lib\libvips-cpp-8.18.3.dll, inside the npm package @img/sharp-win32-x64 0.35.3). libvips is licensed LGPL-3.0-or-later, which entitles you to its complete source. This folder is that source, conveyed the way the installer is conveyed — same server, no charge, no account (LGPL-3.0 §4(d)(0), via GPLv3 §6(d)): vips-8.18.3.tar.xz the source of the exact libvips release the DLLs were built from 25,422,084 bytes SHA-256 f41285b61bfb495605494f074ca341f7791a1d406e2f157dcea606ef1ae1b146 build-win64-mxe-8.18.3.tar.gz the complete Windows build recipe those DLLs come from — libvips' own build-win64-mxe project at tag v8.18.3. Its build/vips.mk pins version 8.18.3, and its recipes pin the exact revision and checksum of every companion library compiled into the DLLs (glib, cairo, pango, harfbuzz, freetype, librsvg, libheif, libtiff, libpng, libwebp, mozjpeg, lcms2, libimagequant, zlib-ng and the rest — the list named by the package's own versions.json). 76,915 bytes SHA-256 05c9f3708ce8afe820d4a401e8b270e30c8bd6270e75a6cfb97f918f2f087962 The recipe fetches each companion library's source from its canonical home at the pinned revision and verifies it against the checksum written in the recipe. If any of those upstream archives — or either file above — is ever unavailable to you, write to support@simpler.asia and we will supply the archives ourselves, at no charge, for at least three years from this release (2026). You can rebuild the DLLs from these files and substitute your own build: put your libvips-42.dll in place of the shipped one and the application will use it. The linking is dynamic, nothing is statically linked, and no relink step is needed — which is the recombination LGPL-3.0 §4 exists to guarantee. The texts of the LGPL-3.0 and the GPL-3.0 it incorporates ship inside the installed application at engine-payload\licenses\.
