Blue Material Admin — licensing notice
======================================

This project is a fork of SourceBans++ with an inherited Material Admin–style UI.
Licenses are layered. Do not treat the whole tree as a single “pure GPL” product
until the legacy theme layer is replaced (see docs/THEME_MIGRATION.md).


1) Application code (PHP logic, installer, most of pages/, includes/)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
License: GNU General Public License v3.0 or later
File:    LICENSE

Upstream:
  - SourceBans++ — GPLv3 (https://github.com/sbpp/sourcebans-pp)
  - Original SourceBans lineage — see file headers / upstream history

This is what GitHub SPDX detection refers to when it shows GPL-3.0.


2) UI theme shell (themes/new_box — excluding third-party vendors/)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Status: DERIVATIVE / LEGACY — not cleared as pure GPLv3

The template structure, compiled CSS (app.min.*), layout JS (functions.js),
and Material Design–style markup (fg-line, zmdi, waves, card layouts, etc.)
descend from Material Admin–class admin templates and SourceBans Material /
IceMan TF2 theme adaptations.

There is no separate clean SPDX grant for that shell inside this repo.
Visual re-skinning (colors, logo, dark theme) does NOT remove that provenance.

Until themes/new_box is rewritten (THEME_MIGRATION.md):
  - Do not claim the UI shell is MIT or “your exclusive commercial IP”.
  - Commercial redistribution / “sell the panel as a product” with this theme
    is at your own legal risk.
  - Prefer replacing the theme before packaging a paid/commercial offering.


3) Third-party libraries (examples)
-----------------------------------
  - Bootstrap 3, jQuery, Waves, many vendors under themes/new_box/vendors/
      → typically MIT (see each package)
  - ADOdb → BSD-3-Clause / LGPL-2.1 (includes/adodb)
  - SourceQuery → LGPL-2.1 (includes/SourceQuery)
  - Smarty 2.x → LGPL-2.1 (includes/smarty)

Always keep their original license files.


4) Branding note
----------------
“Material Admin” in titles/footer is a product brand name used by this fork.
It does not by itself grant rights to ThemeForest / upstream theme authors.


5) Contact / intent
-------------------
Goal: keep application code under GPLv3 and replace the legacy UI shell with
an original (or clearly MIT/Apache-licensed) front-end so the distribution
can be honestly described as GPLv3 + standard OSS dependencies only.
