Ryft — Third-Party Software Notices and Attributions
Last updated: October 6, 2026
This document provides notices and attributions for third-party software that is distributed with the Ryft desktop application by Ryft Security, LLC ("Ryft," "we"). It is provided to satisfy the attribution and license-notice obligations of the open-source components incorporated into Ryft.
The shipped Ryft desktop application bundles exactly one third-party runtime component — Electron — together with the components Electron itself incorporates. Ryft's own detection engine is implemented entirely in the Python Standard Library and bundles no third-party Python packages. Build-time tooling is not distributed with the application and therefore requires no end-user attribution.
Where a component ships its own complete license manifest inside the application bundle, that in-bundle manifest is the authoritative and complete set of attributions for that component. This document summarizes the notices and points you to those manifests.
Electron
The Ryft desktop application is built on Electron (version ^44.4.5), which is licensed under the MIT License.
Electron incorporates Chromium (licensed under the BSD-3-Clause license and numerous other open-source licenses) and Node.js (licensed under the MIT License, together with the licenses of its own dependencies). The complete, authoritative attributions and license texts for the Chromium, Node.js, and other open-source components that Electron incorporates are reproduced in the consolidated license manifest file that Electron ships inside the application bundle (for example, LICENSES.chromium.html, together with the LICENSE and LICENSES files). That in-bundle manifest is distributed with the Ryft application and is the authoritative, complete attribution for those Chromium, Node.js, and other third-party components. Please refer to it for the full set of component license texts and copyright notices.

Python Standard Library
The Ryft detection engine is implemented entirely in the Python Standard Library, which is distributed under the Python Software Foundation License. No third-party Python packages are bundled with the Ryft application.
Build-time tooling
Ryft is packaged using build-time tooling (electron-builder and its dependencies). This tooling is used only to build the application and is not distributed with it. Because it is not shipped to end users, it requires no end-user attribution and is not reproduced here.
Release-time verification
Before each release we run a license audit against the shipped build and include the full open-source license manifest in the distributed application resources. If you believe an attribution here is missing or incorrect, contact us and we will correct it promptly.
