+
+## Framework Wrappers
+
+### React Shepherd
+
+The `react-shepherd` wrapper is licensed under MIT, but it depends on `shepherd.js` which is AGPL-3.0. 
+
+If you need a commercial license for Shepherd.js, you also need one when using the React wrapper.
+
+### Other Wrappers
+
+- [Angular Shepherd](https://github.com/shipshapecode/angular-shepherd)
+- [Vue Shepherd](https://github.com/shipshapecode/vue-shepherd)
+- [Ember Shepherd](https://github.com/RobbieTheWagner/ember-shepherd)
+
+All wrappers depend on the core Shepherd.js library and inherit its licensing requirements.
