Third-Party Notices

Publisher: NeuroCognica / Michael Holt Applies to: ChronoSophia desktop application and the chronos / chronos_director binaries Last verified: 2026-07-26

ChronoSophia is proprietary software (see LICENSE). It orchestrates independent third-party tools that run as separate processes on your machine. Those tools keep their own licenses, listed below. Nothing in the Chronos license restricts any right you hold under the licenses in this document.

Affiliation disclaimer

ChronoSophia is an independent product of NeuroCognica. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or certified by the Blender Foundation, Ollama Inc., Comfy Org / ComfyUI contributors, Alibaba Cloud / the Qwen team, Black Forest Labs, RunDiffusion, Stability AI, the Linux Foundation / PyTorch Foundation, the Python Software Foundation, Microsoft, FlashForge, or any other party named here.

All product names, logos, trademarks, and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners. They are used here only to identify the software Chronos interoperates with — nominative use, no claim of ownership, affiliation, or endorsement is made or implied.

How Chronos uses these components

Chronos ships no third-party binary except the vendored BlenderMCP addon (MIT, see below). Everything else is installed on your machine, from the vendor's own distribution channel, by the optional post-install script scripts/setup_windows.ps1 (Windows) or scripts/setup_linux.sh (Linux), with your consent. Chronos then talks to those tools over local ports.

This means the third-party tools are yours, installed from their publishers, under their licenses. Chronos does not relicense, rebrand, repackage, modify, or redistribute them.

Applications and libraries

Rust crate and Python package dependencies of Chronos itself are enumerated in Cargo.lock and the per-component requirements.txt files; each carries its own license, predominantly MIT / Apache-2.0 / BSD.

Copyleft components — your GPL rights are intact

Blender (GPL v2-or-later) and ComfyUI (GPL v3) are free software.

• You receive them from the Blender Foundation and the ComfyUI project directly — Chronos only invokes their installers. Complete corresponding source code is available from those upstream projects at the URLs above.
• You may run, study, modify, and redistribute them under their own terms. No Chronos license term overrides that, and nothing in the Chronos EULA or this document restricts it.
• Chronos communicates with Blender through Blender's own Python API and with ComfyUI over its local HTTP API. Chronos is a separate program that interoperates with them; it is not a derivative work of either, and it does not link their code into its binaries.
• Blender's GPL does not cover what you make with it. Per the Blender Foundation: artwork, images, movies, and .blend files you create are your sole property. The same holds for every artifact Chronos seals for you.

If you modify Blender or ComfyUI on your machine, Chronos will keep working with them or fail visibly — it will not silently substitute a different build.

BlenderMCP — MIT License (vendored)

The file blender-mcp/addon.py is redistributed with Chronos and installed into your Blender addons directory. It is vendored deliberately: fetching an unpinned main from a third-party repository at install time is a supply-chain risk. Full license text: blender-mcp/LICENSE.

AI model weights

Model weights are not part of Chronos and are not redistributed by NeuroCognica. Exactly one model is fetched automatically (with your consent, from Ollama's registry): qwen2.5:7b-instruct, Apache-2.0.

Every image model is user-supplied — you obtain it yourself, under the license its publisher sets. The product default Flux canvas path uses FLUX.1-schnell (Apache-2.0). FLUX.1-dev remains available only via CHRONOS_FLUX_VARIANT=dev and is not licensed for commercial use of the model.

Read docs/customer/MODEL_LICENSES.md before using Chronos commercially. It lists every model the pipelines reference, its exact license, and what that license permits. That document is part of this notice by reference.

Corrections

If you believe a component is misattributed, missing, or wrongly licensed here, that is a defect. Report it and it will be corrected in the open — this file is amended by addition, never silently rewritten.
