Trust / Software

Proprietary product.
Open foundations.

CEX itself is proprietary and free to use. It also relies on third-party runtimes and libraries whose separate licenses remain in force.

CEX ownership

Free to use does not mean open source

You may use an official CEX release at no charge for personal or commercial work, and your projects remain yours. The CEX runtime, interface, orchestration system, and source code remain proprietary to Alphaanon. Read the CEX Software Terms for the exact grant and restrictions.

Runtime foundation

Major components

Electron and Node.jsThe desktop wrapper and interface shell use the Electron and Node ecosystems.
PythonThe local gateway and cognitive runtime are implemented in Python and packaged with their required libraries.
Model serversOllama and llama.cpp are supported external paths; they are separate projects and are not bundled in v0.1.0.
Interface iconsService marks use the CC0-licensed Simple Icons vectors where noted; project-native marks cover the remaining controls.
Release compliance

Dependency and license inventory

The exact beta dependency set is recorded in the version-locked manifests used to build each release. The principal manifests cover the packaged Python runtime, the Electron wrapper, and the interface shell. CEX bundles the Orbitron, Chakra Petch, and Share Tech Mono typefaces under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

CEX's proprietary terms do not replace or narrow a dependency's license. Required third-party notices and license texts must ship with every installer. If a notice appears to be missing, report it to hello@cex.app.
