Scope and blockers

Do not begin packaging or distribute source/artifacts until a compatible redistribution license for rewtnull/amigafonts is established. Preserve upstream notices and separately review bundled assets, models, fonts, ROMs, or third-party components before installation.

Acceptance checks

Obtain an explicit, Guix-compatible license grant or authoritative upstream license file covering the packaged source and installed artifacts.
Record the resolved SPDX/Guix license expression and all relevant third-party notices.
After resolution, create the package from the pinned source, run guix lint -L., and build it offline with the appropriate focused smoke test.
