SCOPE OF THIS LICENSE
=====================

This license covers the NextOS Elite contributions to this repository, and
nothing else. Those contributions are the port layer that makes the Pikmin
decompilation run on Linux/AArch64 (the Dolphin OS thread scheduler, the
frame pump, input, packaging), the OpenGL ES 2.0 work for Mali-450 (Utgard),
the software JAudio renderer that replaces the GameCube DSP, the anamorphic
widescreen path, and the Mali-450 performance and correctness fixes — that is,
the commits authored by the NextOS Elite contributors, and nothing beneath
them.

It does NOT cover, and cannot cover:

  * The Pikmin decompilation itself, by the projectPiki team. That work is
    released under CC0 1.0 Universal by its authors — see
    https://github.com/projectPiki/pikmin. Their dedication to the public
    domain is theirs to make, not ours to restate.
  * The reconstructed Pikmin game code, and any Nintendo material it
    describes. No game data is distributed here.
  * Aurora, and the GLES/GLES3 backend for Aurora written by Brian Degenhardt
    (bmdhacks) for the Dusklight project. Our ES 2.0 work sits on top of that
    backend; the backend itself is theirs, under Aurora's MIT license.
  * The bundled third-party components (Aurora, nod, SDL), which keep their
    own licenses in their own source directories.

See NOTICE.md for a component-by-component breakdown of who owns what.

You are free to take the NextOS Elite work under the terms below. That freedom
does not extend to the parts above, which are not ours to grant.
