Candidate

Canonical URL: https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/vector-terminal
Source snapshot: larsbrinkhoff-vector-terminal-source at caad3a14fcecc5a11c58e373a2b64fd01d53f44d
Deliverable: General-purpose vector terminal and input-device emulator
User-facing tags: historical-computing, vector-terminal, SDL2, display-emulator
Primary language: C and JavaScript
Build ecosystem: SDL2 Makefile plus static JavaScript implementation
SPDX disposition: LicenseRef-project-code-and-bundled-client-code-unknown
License evidence: The project C/SDL2 and JavaScript code lack a grant; bundled client snippets reference absent license texts.

License investigation blocker

No project license covers the C/SDL2 or JavaScript emulator. Bundled JavaScript client files name LGPL-3 or MPL-2.0 and refer to absent LICENSE.txt files, which does not establish a license for the complete deliverable.

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.
