Open-Source Licenses

Fora is built with open-source software. We're grateful to the people who make and maintain it. This page acknowledges the main third-party components the app includes and the licenses they're distributed under.

Firebase Apple SDK

Fora uses the Firebase Apple SDK for anonymous authentication, the Cloud Firestore database, and Cloud Storage. © Google LLC, licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Source and notices: github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk.

The Firebase Apple SDK bundles additional third-party open-source components, each distributed under its own license — including the Apache License 2.0, BSD, MIT, and zlib licenses. Their notices are published alongside the SDK in the repository above.

Apple frameworks

Maps are rendered with Apple MapKit, and the app is built on Apple's SwiftUI and system frameworks, used under the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. These are proprietary to Apple and are not open-source components.
