Open Source Components
Ice Commander is built on open source. Notable components it ships with:
The application itself does not decode video: it bundles neither GStreamer, nor libmpv, nor FFmpeg. Video is a separate plugin, and it carries its own LGPL build of libmpv — the same player on Linux, macOS and Windows.

The full dependency graph additionally includes Rust crates and npm packages distributed under the MIT and/or Apache-2.0 licenses. LGPL components (GTK4, Libadwaita, GLib in the application; libmpv and FFmpeg in the video plugin) are dynamically linked and shipped as separate shared libraries, so they can be replaced; their sources are available from the respective upstream projects.
