Questie-Octo source provenance and licensing audit
Audit date: 2026-08-15
Purpose
This document records the source snapshots available during the GitHub/licensing pass and preserves provenance for future human and AI-assisted maintenance. This pass is documentation/licensing-only: no gameplay, Lua logic, TOC entry, quest data, map behavior, tracker behavior, artwork, settings, or existing project note was changed or removed.
The baseline addon archive audited here was:
Questie-Octo(1).zip- SHA-256:
3e0528012df2a0a36cd9185850ec71a330e5feb2abc87dc6b44e8f765e5f2fea - 139 regular files before licensing documents were added.

The filenames used for upload can carry duplicate suffixes such as (2) or
(3). The SHA-256 values above identify the actual snapshots independently of
those local upload names.
Later compatibility reference snapshots
The following snapshots were supplied later in the same project and were used only to cross-check UI compatibility behavior. They are not bundled with Questie-Octo and this record does not change their licensing or ownership.
| Compatibility reference | SHA-256 | Role / note |
|---|---|---|
| pfUI-classicAPI-octo | 5b4ed17b4ca94712ea7cc35cd86f31dfdc7b5d94a83bb51abb3cfca2e8e4911b |

Replacement ESC/GameMenu behavior and square-minimap compatibility reference. |
Historical sources no longer available as exact archives
Existing Questie-Octo comments and README history establish that Questie 3.3.5, 7.0.0, and 8.0.0 were used during the earlier backport work. Those exact source archives are no longer available in the current workspace, so they cannot be re-hashed during this licensing pass.
Do not delete their references from source comments or documentation. Those references are the remaining provenance record for the earlier work.
Later Docs/ARCHITECTURE.md records additional Questie generations as reference
material, including Questie 7-9, Questie 10-11, and Questie 11.34.1 as an
edge-case reference. Earlier README sections saying Questie 9/10/11 were not
used are historical stage-specific notes and intentionally remain intact.
Exact-match audit observations
The baseline Questie-Octo archive contained many files that are byte-identical
to supplied source snapshots, especially under Libs/ and Data/. Exact hash
matches are only one kind of provenance: adapted code, generated tables,
converted artwork, copied behavior, and compatibility patterns can remain
third-party-derived even when a whole-file hash no longer matches.
For this reason future audits must consult both hashes and the retained source comments/documentation.
License findings
Questie-Octo original contributions
Original portions first authored for Questie-Octo are offered under the MIT
License. See ../LICENSE and ../LICENSES/Questie-Octo-MIT.txt.
Ace3v
The supplied Ace3v snapshot includes the Ace3 Development Team license. Its
verbatim text is preserved at ../LICENSES/Ace3v-LICENSE.txt.
pfQuest / Shagu
The supplied pfQuest and Shagu snapshots contain MIT license files. Their exact
texts are preserved individually in ../LICENSES/ so their original copyright
years and notices are not collapsed into a generic replacement.
Questie
No project-level Questie license file was found in the supplied Questie 5.2.3
or 6.0.0 snapshots. The Questie/Libs/LICENSE.txt file in those snapshots is
Ace3's license and is not treated as Questie's project license. Questie-derived
material is therefore excluded from the scope of the Questie-Octo MIT grant in
this repository notice.
ClassicAPI
ClassicAPI.dll is an external dependency and is not bundled. Upstream states
GPL v3 or later. The upstream GPLv3 license document is included at
../LICENSES/ClassicAPI-GPL-3.0.txt for reference and compliance clarity.
Packaging invariant
The GitHub/licensing package must preserve every pre-existing archive member's uncompressed bytes. Licensing/provenance files are additions only. A future AI or human contributor should not use a licensing cleanup as a reason to rewrite source, change gameplay, strip comments, remove historical notes, or normalize third-party files.
