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.
