# Questie-Octo third-party notices
|
|
|
|
This file records third-party material and development references known to the
|
|
Questie-Octo project. It is intentionally additive: existing source comments,
|
|
README history, architecture notes, and audit notes remain authoritative
|
|
provenance evidence and should not be removed merely because this summary
|
|
exists.
|
|
|
|
## Ace3 / Ace3v
|
|
|
|
Questie-Octo bundles and adapts Ace3-family compatibility code under `Libs/`,
|
|
including AceCore, AceGUI, AceConfig-related code, and CallbackHandler-related
|
|
code. The supplied Ace3v source snapshot carries the Ace3 Development Team
|
|
license reproduced verbatim in `LICENSES/Ace3v-LICENSE.txt`.
|
|
|
|
That license permits source and binary redistribution with conditions and also
|
|
contains an explicit restriction on redistribution of a stand-alone Ace3
|
|
version without prior written authorization. Questie-Octo distributes these
|
|
libraries as embedded addon components, not as a stand-alone Ace3 package.
|
|
|
|
## LibStub
|
|
|
|
`Libs/LibStub/LibStub.lua` states that LibStub is placed in the Public Domain.
|
|
The embedded notice remains in that source file and is summarized in
|
|
`LICENSES/LibStub-PUBLIC-DOMAIN.txt`.
|
|
|
|
## pfQuest and pfQuest-octo
|
|
|
|
Questie-Octo uses pfQuest-family source/data/artwork as documented throughout
|
|
the project. The supplied source snapshots are licensed under the MIT License:
|
|
|
|
- `pfQuest-classicAPI-octo`: Copyright (c) 2017-2021 Eric Mauser (Shagu).
|
|
- `pfQuest-octo`: Copyright (c) 2021 Eric Mauser (Shagu).
|
|
|
|
Their exact supplied license texts are preserved in:
|
|
|
|
- `LICENSES/pfQuest-classicAPI-MIT.txt`
|
|
- `LICENSES/pfQuest-octo-MIT.txt`
|
|
|
|
These notices apply to the relevant pfQuest-derived portions and do not alter
|
|
Questie-Octo gameplay behavior.
|
|
|
|
## ShaguTweaks and ShaguTweaks-extras
|
|
|
|
ShaguTweaks was used as a Vanilla 1.12 UI/compatibility reference, as recorded
|
|
in the existing README and source comments. Supplied source licenses are MIT:
|
|
|
|
- `ShaguTweaks`: Copyright (c) 2021 Eric Mauser (Shagu).
|
|
- `ShaguTweaks-extras`: Copyright (c) 2025 Eric Mauser (Shagu).
|
|
|
|
Their exact supplied license texts are preserved in:
|
|
|
|
- `LICENSES/ShaguTweaks-MIT.txt`
|
|
- `LICENSES/ShaguTweaks-extras-MIT.txt`
|
|
|
|
## Questie
|
|
|
|
Questie is a major implementation, behavior, UI, compatibility, and artwork
|
|
reference for Questie-Octo. The preserved project history records work across
|
|
multiple Questie generations. Earlier README sections intentionally record the
|
|
then-approved chain `5.2.3 -> 6.0.0 -> 3.3.5 -> 7.0.0 -> 8.0.0` and statements
|
|
that later versions had not yet been inspected. The later architecture record
|
|
then documents subsequent reference use of Questie 7-9, Questie 10-11, and
|
|
Questie 11.34.1 for edge cases. Both layers are retained because they describe
|
|
different stages of development.
|
|
|
|
During the licensing audit, the supplied Questie 5.2.3 and Questie 6.0.0
|
|
archives contained no project-level Questie license file. Their
|
|
`Questie/Libs/LICENSE.txt` is the Ace3 Development Team license for bundled
|
|
libraries and must not be represented as a license for Questie itself.
|
|
|
|
Accordingly, Questie-derived portions are **not** relicensed by the
|
|
Questie-Octo MIT grant. They retain whatever rights and restrictions apply to
|
|
their upstream source. This repository makes no additional permission claim
|
|
for those portions.
|
|
|
|
The exact historical Questie 3.3.5, 7.0.0, and 8.0.0 archives originally used
|
|
are no longer available in the current project workspace. Their provenance is
|
|
nevertheless retained in existing Questie-Octo comments and documentation and
|
|
should not be erased by future human or AI-assisted changes.
|
|
|
|
## ClassicAPI.dll
|
|
|
|
ClassicAPI is an external runtime dependency used by Questie-Octo. The DLL is
|
|
not bundled in this Questie-Octo package.
|
|
|
|
The ClassicAPI upstream repository states that ClassicAPI is licensed under
|
|
GNU GPL version 3 or later. A copy of the upstream GPLv3 license document is
|
|
included for reference at `LICENSES/ClassicAPI-GPL-3.0.txt`.
|
|
|
|
Including that license text does not relicense Questie-Octo under the GPL and
|
|
does not imply that ClassicAPI.dll is distributed inside this addon archive.
|
|
Users obtain ClassicAPI separately from its upstream project.
|
|
|
|
## MoveAnything
|
|
|
|
The supplied MoveAnything source was used as a compatibility/debugging
|
|
reference during development. No general project license file was found in the
|
|
supplied MoveAnything archive during this audit, and no byte-identical current
|
|
Questie-Octo file was identified as an imported MoveAnything file. It is
|
|
therefore recorded as reference provenance rather than as a bundled licensed
|
|
component.
|
|
|
|
## Turtle/Tortoise and calendar-derived data
|
|
|
|
Existing Questie-Octo files explicitly document Turtle/Tortoise server data and
|
|
calendar material used to build or verify offline quest/event data. Those
|
|
existing generated-data headers and architecture notes are preserved. This
|
|
licensing-only packaging pass does not alter, regenerate, remove, or reinterpret
|
|
that gameplay data.
|
|
|
|
## Preservation rule for future contributors and AI tools
|
|
|
|
Do not remove historical comments, audit notes, source-attribution notes,
|
|
generated-data headers, migration explanations, compatibility explanations, or
|
|
AI-oriented maintenance notes merely because newer documentation summarizes
|
|
them. They are part of the source-provenance trail.
|
|
|
|
When replacing or substantially rewriting a third-party-derived component,
|
|
update the provenance record rather than deleting the earlier history.
