Licensing of Bridle Project components
######################################

Bridle as a whole is licensed under the `Apache 2.0 License`_. It does, however,
import or reuse a small number of packages, scripts and other files that are
covered by other licenses. In some cases there is no way to add a license header
to those files, so their licensing is declared centrally, in a machine-readable
form, in the :bridle_file:`REUSE.toml` file at the root of the repository
(following the `REUSE specification`_).

The sections below are **generated automatically** from that metadata, so they
always reflect the actual state of the tree. To add, update or remove an entry,
edit the corresponding ``[[annotations]]`` block in :bridle_file:`REUSE.toml`
rather than this page.

   rather than this page (see :ref:`external-contributions`).

.. note::

   This page lists licensing *exceptions* only. It does **not** define the
   license of the Bridle Project itself, which is Apache 2.0 as specified in the
   :bridle_file:`LICENSE` file at the root of the repository.
