# Code provenance
This page records notices required by source dependencies and licensed derivative work.
## Licensed derivative work
- The DWT-DCT implementation derives from ShieldMnt's
[`invisible-watermark`](https://github.com/ShieldMnt/invisible-watermark), licensed
under MIT. Its notice ships in `src/remove_ai_watermarks/licenses/invisible-watermark-MIT.txt`.
The decode path is a vectorized reformulation, not a transcription: it produces
the same bits and is checked against upstream's own decoder, but it no longer
corresponds line by line to `imwatermark/maxDct.py`. Diffing the two files will
show structurally different code, which is expected and does not mean the
derivation notice is stale.
## Licensed test fixtures
- `data/fixtures/provenance/adobe-trustmark-p.png` is Adobe's official
TrustMark Variant P example, licensed under MIT. Its source commit, digest,
and reproduced license are recorded beside the fixture in
`data/fixtures/README.md` and `data/licenses/adobe-trustmark-MIT.txt`.
- `data/fixtures/provenance/microsoft-paint-invismark.png` is an original
Microsoft Paint output supplied by Xusheng Li and licensed by him under MIT.
Its source research, digest, expected signal, and reproduced license are
recorded in `data/fixtures/README.md` and
`data/licenses/xusheng-li-paint-invismark-MIT.txt`.
