Gradient corpus licences
The 553 named gradients on BrandSweets come from two open datasets, both MIT. Their notices are reproduced below exactly as the licence requires. The colours are theirs; the OKLCH tagging, the contrast reports and the rendering are ours.
The bundled gradient corpus (`index.data.json`, `uigradients.json`, `webgradients.json`) is derived from two MIT-licensed datasets. The notices below are reproduced verbatim as the licences require; the normalisation (slugs, 0..1 stop positions, OKLCH hue-family and mood tags) is ours.

Where these show up
Every corpus gradient page links back to its source and to this page. The same notices ship inside the repository bundle as corpus/LICENSES.md, generated by the importer that fetches the two datasets, so this page and the bundle can never disagree.
