Scout legal and third-party notices
This is not legal advice. It is the current beta-readiness posture for Scout users, testers, and distributors.
Third-party notices
This product includes software developed by UncleCode (https://x.com/unclecode) as part of the Crawl4AI project. Crawl4AI is distributed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
Scout should not imply endorsement by Crawl4AI, UncleCode, or any third-party dependency maintainer.
The source repository includes THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
Public/commercial packaging still needs a generated dependency license
inventory for shipped versions.
Scout's local/core package and source distribution are licensed under the
Apache License, Version 2.0 (Apache-2.0). Hosted Scout,
paid service access, support, and enterprise terms remain separate service and
commercial arrangements.
Responsible acquisition
Users are responsible for lawful use, site terms, robots and rate limits, permissions, account boundaries, copyright, personal data, and any regulated information they collect or process.
Avoid using Scout for restricted account pages, login-walled data, personal-data enrichment, credentialed third-party content, or sites where you do not have permission to capture and store evidence.
Launch boundary
Crawl4AI currently resolves lxml 5.4.0 in Scout's tested dependency tree. The controlled beta has a recorded private-beta exception; public security-clean claims still require a clean audit or a separate public-launch exception.
Hosted beta access is capped, metered, and tied to registered tester accounts. It is not an unlimited production SaaS promise.
Local Scout keeps artifacts on your machine and makes it easier to reason about workdir, credentials, screenshots, and browser evidence.
