13e4c6997c Licenses: MPL-2.0 for Theseus, Ariadne and Hephaestus; Apache-2.0 for Argus; CC BY 4.0 for the documents
The public repos carried no license, so nobody could legally copy or build
on the code, and the whitepaper's "free software" had nothing behind it.
Theseus and its companions take the Mozilla Public License 2.0, the
file-level copyleft Firefox and Brave use, which is compatible with every
component they bundle. The resolver and gateway libraries take Apache-2.0
so that other implementations of the registry can reuse them without
copyleft in the way. The protocol documents and the whitepaper are CC BY 4.0.

A third-party notices file lists what the browser ships and fetches, with
the source offer the GPL sing-box binary the VPN add-on downloads requires;
the matching source archive is now published beside the binaries. The
names and marks are reserved in TRADEMARKS.md, separate from the code
license, so a fork must ship under its own name. Settings › General says
the license and links the three files; the whitepaper says the same.
