WowRadio-Vanilla third-party notices

Audit date: 2026-08-31

This file records known upstream sources, bundled third-party libraries, station-directory boundaries, and unresolved provenance.

Historical WowRadio code

The current repository descends from the historical WowRadio addon.

Known provenance chain:

1. Original WowRadio credited to Tormentor @ Mannoroth and belthazor.
2. Vanilla-era backport preserved at:
   • https://github.com/Daribon/WowRadio
   • README identifies version 0.4a as "Backported to vanilla" on 2015-08-30.
3. Later Vanilla maintenance/update repository:
   • https://github.com/paokkerkir/WowRadio-Vanilla
4. Current maintained fork:
   • https://github.com/Dusk-92/WowRadio-Vanilla

Neither Daribon/WowRadio nor paokkerkir/WowRadio-Vanilla exposed an explicit project-wide LICENSE file at the time of this audit.

Accordingly, WowRadio-Vanilla does not claim that the historical addon code is MIT, GPL, public domain, or otherwise freely relicensed. Dusk-92's original changes and documentation are distinct from inherited material and the root LICENSE notice is intentionally limited in scope.

Ace2

This repository embeds the following Ace2 components under Libs/:

• AceLibrary
• AceOO-2.0
• AceAddon-2.0
• AceDB-2.0
• AceConsole-2.0
• AceEvent-2.0
• AceLocale-2.2

The complete Libs/ Git tree is byte-identical at Git object level to the copies present in both Daribon/WowRadio and paokkerkir/WowRadio-Vanilla.

Canonical historical/reference project:

• https://github.com/wowace-clone/Ace2
• https://www.wowace.com/projects/ace2

The official WowAce project page identifies the framework license as:

• LGPL v2.1
• MIT for AceOO-2.0

The current AceLibrary source header also states License: LGPL v2.1, while the current AceOO-2.0 source header states License: MIT.

A copy of the GNU LGPL v2.1 license text is preserved at LICENSES/Ace2-LGPL-2.1.txt.

Because the historical AceOO source header does not provide a separate copyright line in this repository, this project does not fabricate one. LICENSES/Ace2-LICENSE-NOTICE.md records the verified upstream license designation and source references.

Radio stations and stream URLs

Stations.lua contains station names, descriptions, categories, and remote stream URLs. The repository does not contain or redistribute the audio content delivered by those streams.

Station names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. Listing a stream URL is for user navigation/interoperability and does not imply affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or ownership.

Stream availability, programming, licensing, and content can change independently of this repository.

See Docs/STATION_DIRECTORY_NOTICE.md.

Visual assets

The bundled files:

• bg_left.tga
• bg_right.tga

are byte-identical to the corresponding files in paokkerkir/WowRadio-Vanilla.

They were introduced in that upstream repository in commit 6980f90591e1b9c5d1511cc8790e2c8f636839af ("update to 1.0", 2026-05-04).

Those assets were not present in the older Daribon/WowRadio repository. Their origin beyond the immediate upstream repository was not established during this audit, so no broader ownership or relicensing claim is made.

See Docs/ASSET_PROVENANCE.md.

Project identity and trademarks

Canonical maintained repository:

• https://github.com/Dusk-92/WowRadio-Vanilla

World of Warcraft, Warcraft, Blizzard Entertainment, and associated names, marks, artwork, and game assets remain the property of their respective rights holders.

Preservation rule

Do not remove historical credits, upstream source references, license notices, or provenance records merely because code or assets are later modified.

When replacing inherited material, update the provenance record rather than erasing the historical chain.
