+## 📜 Project identity & licensing
+
+WowRadio-Vanilla is an independent community-maintained addon. It is not
+affiliated with or endorsed by Blizzard Entertainment or by the radio stations
+listed in `Stations.lua`.
+
+The repository contains mixed-origin material. The historical WowRadio code has
+no explicit project-wide license identified in the currently known upstream
+repositories, so this fork does **not** claim to relicense that inherited code.
+
