LICENSES
CODE LICENSE / BINARY
While Cardinal itself is licensed under GPLv3+, some modules/plugins used by it are not.
And since Cardinal builds the entire Rack and modules as a static library,
the more restrictive of the code licenses will apply to the final binary.
Bellow follows a list of all code licenses used in Cardinal and linked submodules.

ARTWORK / PANEL LICENSES
Bellow follows a list of all licenses related to artwork and module panels, sorted by file name.
Licenses were retrieved from the official project's LICENSE, README or related files.
When * is used, it is meant as wildcard of all files, with potential exceptions mentioned afterwards.
When a license is uncertain, ?? is used.
The sentence "used and distributed with permission" refers to the original project.
Since Cardinal does not modify these files, it is assumed their usage is permitted as well.
Note: The "final" version of Cardinal MUST NOT be released with unclear licenses!
So all uncertainties need to be resolved ASAP.
