Every source file in this repository carries SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0, and the README has always said Apache 2.0. The LICENSE file said MIT. It was the only thing in the repository that disagreed, and it was wrong. This code derives from Hyperledger Besu, which is Apache 2.0. Several files sit in Besu's own packages because that is where the client loads them from. Publishing that under MIT was not a choice we were free to make, and it is not one we made knowingly. The LICENSE file now contains the Apache 2.0 text as published by the Apache Software Foundation, byte for byte (sha256 cfc7749b96f63bd31c3c42b5c471bf756814053e847c10f3eb003417bc523d30). NOTICE records the derivation from Besu. Nothing about the terms these files were offered under has changed: the file headers governed before this commit and govern after it. The correction is recorded in the README rather than made silently, because a licence is the one thing in a repository a reader should not have to verify.

The files in this repository are additions to, and modifications of, Hyperledger

|
Besu. They are published under the same licence as the code they derive from.
|
|
Several files remain in Besu's own Java packages (for example
|
|
org.hyperledger.besu.evm.precompile) because that is where they must live to be
|
|
loaded by the client; this does not make them the work of the Besu project, and
|
|
it does not make them anything other than a derivative work of it.
|
|
|
|
The patches under patches/ are diffs against Hyperledger Besu and are meaningless
|
|
without it. Obtain Besu from upstream; these files do not replace it.

Every source file in this repository carries an SPDX-License-Identifier header.

Where a file header and this NOTICE ever disagree, the file header governs, and
|
|
the disagreement is a defect to be reported.
