LICENSES

CODE LICENSE / BINARY

While Cardinal itself is licensed under GPLv3+, some modules/plugins used by it are not.
And since Cardinal builds the entire Rack and modules as a static library, the more restrictive of the code licenses will apply to the final binary.

Bellow follows a list of all code licenses used in Cardinal and linked submodules.

ARTWORK / PANEL LICENSES

Bellow follows a list of all licenses related to artwork and module panels, sorted by file name.
When * is used, it is meant as wildcard of all files, with potential exceptions mentioned afterwards.
When a license is uncertain, ?? is used.

Note: The "final" version of Cardinal MUST NOT be released with unclear licenses!
So all uncertainties need to be resolved ASAP.
