EVHardware's notes call the licence of EVProfile's upstream unresolved. Checked: malys/EVProfile is MIT, forked from SliDeeN/MG4Control and last merged from it on 2026-08-02. MG4Control is MIT up to 2.6.5 (2026-08-05) and GPL v3 from 2.6.6 (2026-09-02), with the earlier versions staying MIT, so the code EVProfile took is from the MIT period. Recorded with links; not an audit of every EVHardware line. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QLJfZQZeAKAwSqViTmLzki

# Licence
|
|
|
|
Everything in this repository is released under the **MIT Licence** — see
|
|
[`LICENSE`](LICENSE) — **except the `EVHardware/` library**, which has its own licence (below).
|
|
|
|
## Where it comes from
|
|
|
|
Nils' MG4 is a fork of a chain of forks, all MIT:
|
|
|
|
- [Leon Kernan's `ABRP_Uploader`](https://github.com/lkernan/ABRP_Uploader), the original. It
|
|
carries the MIT Licence since 2026-07-29
|
|
([its LICENSE](https://github.com/lkernan/ABRP_Uploader/blob/master/LICENSE), commit
|
|
`75d8f2bc`). Upstream's note that it had no licence predates that.
|
|
- malys' EVABRPUploader, then
|
|
[fatihdonmezdev/FatihsMG4](https://github.com/fatihdonmezdev/FatihsMG4), both under MIT.
|
|
- This fork, under MIT as well.
|
|
|
|
MIT requires the copyright notice to travel with any copy or substantial portion of the
|
|
software. `LICENSE` names all of them; keep every line.
|
|
|
|
## The EVHardware library
|
|
|
|
`EVHardware/` (the shared vehicle layer from EVSuite) is source-available under the
|
|
**PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0** — see [`EVHardware/LICENSE`](EVHardware/LICENSE) and
|
|
[`EVHardware/LICENSE.md`](EVHardware/LICENSE.md). Commercial use is not permitted, and its
|
|
`Required Notice: Copyright (c) 2026 EVHardware contributors` must go with any copy.
|
|
|
|
The car app links EVHardware into its APK, so the **built app** may only be used and passed on
|
|
non-commercially, whatever the MIT parts would allow on their own. The server, the Kubernetes
|
|
manifests and the docs do not contain EVHardware and are plain MIT.
|
|
|
|
EVHardware's own notes say parts of it come from EVProfile, "itself a fork whose upstream
|
|
licence situation is unresolved". Checked on 2026-10-18, that is settled for the code in
|
|
question:
|
|
|
|
- [malys/EVProfile](https://github.com/malys/EVProfile) is MIT. It is a fork of
|
|
[SliDeeN/MG4Control](https://github.com/SliDeeN/MG4Control), and its last merge from
|
|
MG4Control is a commit of 2026-08-02.
|
|
- MG4Control is MIT up to and including 2.6.5 (released 2026-08-05; its licence file dates
|
|
from 2026-06-24) and GPL v3 or later from 2.6.6 (2026-09-02). Its `LICENCE.md` states that
|
|
the earlier versions stay MIT for good.
|
|
|
|
So what EVProfile took from MG4Control dates from MG4Control's MIT period. This covers the
|
|
lineage EVHardware names; it is not an audit of every line in EVHardware.
|
|
|
|
## No warranty
|
|
|
|
Both licences disclaim all warranty and liability, and this software runs on a **vehicle** —
|
|
see [`DISCLAIMER.md`](DISCLAIMER.md) for what that means concretely.
