nilsandClaude Opus 5.5 a293a0fa94 Licence: the original is MIT; EVHardware is noncommercial
Leon Kernan's ABRP_Uploader has carried the MIT Licence since
2026-07-29 (lkernan/ABRP_Uploader commit 75d8f2bc), so the inherited
"no licence upstream, status unresolved" notes no longer hold.

- LICENSE: MIT, now naming every copyright holder in the fork chain
  (Leon Kernan, EVABRPUploader contributors, FatihsMG4 contributors,
  Nils Stinnesbeck).
- LICENSE.md: rewritten. The repository is MIT except EVHardware/,
  which is PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0; the app links it into the APK,
  so the built app is non-commercial. EVHardware's own caveat about
  EVProfile stays with it.
- README, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and SPECS.md say the same.

Licence

Everything in this repository is released under the MIT Licence — see 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:

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.

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 that parts of it come from EVProfile, whose upstream licence situation it calls unresolved; that caveat is EVHardware's and stays with it.

No warranty

Both licences disclaim all warranty and liability, and this software runs on a vehicle — see DISCLAIMER.md for what that means concretely.
