# WowRadio-Vanilla code provenance
|
||||
|
||||
Audit date: 2026-08-31
|
||||
|
||||
## Provenance chain
|
||||
|
||||
### Historical addon
|
||||
|
||||
The addon metadata and surviving historical documentation credit:
|
||||
|
||||
- Tormentor @ Mannoroth
|
||||
- belthazor
|
||||
- jack.e for initial GUI and ideas
|
||||
|
||||
### Vanilla backport
|
||||
|
||||
Repository:
|
||||
- https://github.com/Daribon/WowRadio
|
||||
|
||||
Its README identifies:
|
||||
- WowRadio v0.4 — 2006-12-25
|
||||
- WowRadio v0.4a — 2015-08-30
|
||||
- v0.4a as "Backported to vanilla"
|
||||
|
||||
No project-wide LICENSE file was present when checked during this audit.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2026 Vanilla maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
Repository:
|
||||
- https://github.com/paokkerkir/WowRadio-Vanilla
|
||||
|
||||
This repository updated the addon substantially in 2026 and is the immediate
|
||||
upstream source for the current fork's early history.
|
||||
|
||||
No project-wide LICENSE file was present when checked during this audit.
|
||||
|
||||
### Current maintained fork
|
||||
|
||||
Repository:
|
||||
- https://github.com/Dusk-92/WowRadio-Vanilla
|
||||
|
||||
Dusk-92 maintains later changes including station updates, UI changes,
|
||||
stability fixes, and optimization work.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ace2 provenance
|
||||
|
||||
The complete current `Libs/` Git tree SHA-1 is:
|
||||
|
||||
`c29ef4a8a5c3b390f7fb968cb8f0f1917670170c`
|
||||
|
||||
The same tree SHA appears in:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Dusk-92/WowRadio-Vanilla`
|
||||
- `paokkerkir/WowRadio-Vanilla`
|
||||
- `Daribon/WowRadio`
|
||||
|
||||
This establishes that the embedded Ace2 library tree was inherited unchanged
|
||||
through that known chain.
|
||||
|
||||
The official WowAce project page identifies Ace2 as LGPL v2.1, with AceOO-2.0
|
||||
under MIT.
|
||||
|
||||
## Licensing boundary
|
||||
|
||||
A public Git repository or historical addon archive is not, by itself, proof of
|
||||
a permissive software license.
|
||||
|
||||
Because no explicit project-wide license was identified for the historical
|
||||
WowRadio code, this project records provenance rather than inventing a license.
|
||||
|
||||
Dusk-92's original modifications remain distinct from inherited code, Ace2
|
||||
libraries, station names/URLs, and visual assets.
