+# Third-party license records
+
+This directory contains license/provenance records for third-party code bundled
+with WowRadio-Vanilla.
+
+## Ace2
+
+The official WowAce Ace2 project identifies its license as:
+
+- LGPL v2.1
+- MIT for AceOO-2.0
+
+Files:
+
+- `Ace2-LGPL-2.1.txt` — full GNU LGPL v2.1 license text.
+- `Ace2-LICENSE-NOTICE.md` — source-specific license record and references,
+  including the AceOO-2.0 MIT designation.
+
+The presence of these files does not apply the Ace2 licenses to historical
+WowRadio code.
+
+See `../THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md` for scope.
