NodeScan's search and indexing capability is based on the Java class library called Lucene written by Douglass Cutting, the architect and designer of the V-twin indexing engine upon which Apple's Sherlock is based. The Lucene library is released under the GNU LGPL (Lesser General Public License).

The Audio playback engine utilized by NodeScan relies heavily on the work done by JCraft in developing a Java compatible implementation of Ogg Vorbis.
