Where to Find License Information in the codebase-memory-mcp Project

The DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp repository is released under the MIT License, with the complete license text stored in the top-level LICENSE file.

The DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp project provides a clear licensing structure for users and contributors. Understanding where to locate the license information ensures compliance with the MIT License terms and helps you properly attribute the software in your own projects. This guide shows you exactly where to find the primary license file and how to access it both manually and programmatically.

Locating the Primary License File

The project uses the MIT License, which is the standard permissive license governing the entire codebase-memory-mcp repository. You can find the full license text in the top-level LICENSE file at the root of the repository. This file contains the copyright notice and permission statement that must be retained in all copies or substantial portions of the software, as required by the MIT license terms.

You can view the license directly on GitHub here: LICENSE. The README.md file also typically references this location for quick access to the project's licensing terms.

Accessing License Information

Command Line Method

To view the license information directly from your terminal after cloning the repository:

# Clone the repository (if you haven't already)

git clone https://github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp.git
cd codebase-memory-mcp

# Display the license file

cat LICENSE

Programmatic Access

If you need to read the license information within a Go application, you can use the standard library's ioutil package as implemented in the project:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	data, err := ioutil.ReadFile("LICENSE")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("unable to read LICENSE: %v", err)
	}
	fmt.Println(string(data))
}

Third-Party License Information

In addition to the primary LICENSE file, the repository contains vendored third-party components located in the vendored/ directory. Each of these components maintains its own license file, typically found as LICENSE or LICENSE* files within their respective subdirectories. For example, you can find the yyjson license at vendored/yyjson/LICENSE.

When distributing software that includes these dependencies, you must comply with each component's individual licensing terms in addition to the main project's MIT License. Check the specific vendored/*/LICENSE* files for the exact terms governing each third-party library.
