Upstream attribution
See NOTICE for the full attribution. In summary:
- avalanchego (Ava Labs, Inc.) — this repository is derived from ava-labs/avalanchego, licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License (© 2019 Ava Labs, Inc.). BSD-3 is permissive; the Lux additions here are likewise BSD-3-Clause.
- go-ethereum (The go-ethereum Authors) — EVM support derives from
go-ethereum. It is not
vendored in-tree; it is consumed as the external Go module
github.com/luxfi/geth, which retains go-ethereum's original licenses: the library is LGPL-3.0-or-later and the command-line tools are GPL-3.0.
Copyleft flag: the LGPL-3.0/GPL-3.0 terms of the go-ethereum-derived code
(via github.com/luxfi/geth) are not superseded by this repository's
BSD-3-Clause license. Distributing compiled node binaries must honor LGPL-3.0
for the linked geth library (published source of that code and its
modifications at https://github.com/luxfi/geth, and user ability to relink).
