Canonical URL: https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/pdp10-js
Source snapshot: larsbrinkhoff-pdp10-js-source at 726390c82f112813c76e8059488a789c91a145ab
Deliverable: Browser terminal and Knight-TV client for PDP-10 emulators
User-facing tags: historical-computing, PDP-10, browser-client, terminal-emulator
Primary language: JavaScript
Build ecosystem: static HTML/JavaScript; no declared build
SPDX disposition: LicenseRef-project-code-and-bundled-client-code-unknown
License evidence: The application has no grant; bundled client snippets reference licenses whose LICENSE.txt files are absent.

License investigation blocker

The application pages and tv.js have no license. Some bundled include files state LGPL-3 or MPL-2.0 and refer to LICENSE.txt, but no such license text is present in the pinned tree; no grant covers the assembled browser client.

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.
