Candidate

Canonical URL: https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/crt-simulation
Source snapshot: larsbrinkhoff-crt-simulation-source at b1dc1c5707a0b7b794e0fc506b5f56ff9b620675
Deliverable: Standalone CRT and vector-display simulator
User-facing tags: historical-computing, CRT, display-emulator, WebGL
Primary language: C
Build ecosystem: Makefile C build plus static WebGL/JavaScript assets
SPDX disposition: LicenseRef-project-code-unknown
License evidence: Project C, shader, and JavaScript code has no grant; only the distinct vendored gl-matrix asset carries MIT terms.

License investigation blocker

The pinned tree lacks a project license and the project C, shader, and JavaScript files have no grant. Vendored gl-matrix-min.js contains an MIT notice, but that notice does not license the surrounding simulator.

The repository is public, non-archived, and nonempty, but the above evidence does not establish a Guix-acceptable redistribution license for the complete deliverable.

Packaging outlook

Expected packaging difficulty after license: moderate.

Acceptance checks

Obtain and record an explicit, Guix-acceptable license or permission covering all shipped sources and assets.
Same-upstream coverage checked on 2026-08-15 against official GNU Guix, Nonguix, Guix Science, Guix HPC, Guix Past, Guix R Us, and RDE. No functional package referencing this exact upstream was found.
Create the package with the stated pinned source, build it, and run relevant functional checks.
