Open-source licences

Beep is built on open-source work by other people. Their licences require attribution, and we think you should be able to see exactly what is running on your machine anyway. The same notices ship inside the app as THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt, next to Beep.exe.

All five components below are under the MIT Licence, reproduced in full at the bottom of this page.
