Three-way merge from b595ccb, the commit Fatih copied, to upstream's current state; Fatih's vendor reads (tyres, mileage, charge status, SWI69) stay. LICENSE.md records the base for the next update.

Where it comes from
Nils' MG4 is a fork of a chain of forks, all MIT:
- Leon Kernan's
ABRP_Uploader, the original. It carries the MIT Licence since 2026-07-29 (its LICENSE, commit75d8f2bc). Upstream's note that it had no licence predates that. - malys' EVABRPUploader, then 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 and
EVHardware/LICENSE.md. Commercial use is not permitted, and its
Required Notice: Copyright (c) 2026 EVHardware contributors must go with any copy.
It is a copy, not a submodule: malys/EVHardware at
e4e1158 (2026-10-18, after 1.18.0), merged on 2026-10-19 with the changes this fork carries on
top. Those are Fatih's reads the car needs and upstream does not have — the vendor tyre-pressure
ids 0x21401553–56, the vendor mileage 0x21401566 for the odometer, the charging status
from 0x2140F409, SoC, range, power, pack voltage and current on SWI69 as on SWI68, and SWI69
speed already in km/h — plus translated comments. To take upstream again, merge three ways with
e4e1158 as the base.
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 is MIT. It is a fork of 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.mdstates 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.
