The vm package was extracted from luxfi/node on 2025-12-19 (see initial commit). The original luxfi/node LICENSE was BSD-3-Clause; the extracted module inherited an inadvertent Lux Research License v1.0 LICENSE file. For the vm runtime, we reset to the Lux Ecosystem License v1.2 rather than pure BSD-3-Clause. Rationale: the vm/chain and vm/rpc surfaces are core runtime substrate for Lux ecosystem chains and contain optimization techniques for which Lux Industries Inc maintains patent reservation. The Ecosystem License grants royalty-free use to Descending Chains of the Lux Primary Network (the Liquid Network qualifies) while preserving Lux Industries Inc's patent reservation under Section 5. Effect: Descending Chain deployments (lux.network and similarly bootstrapped ecosystem chains) may use the vm/chain and vm/rpc surfaces royalty-free, subject to (i) maintained ecosystem compatibility (Quasar + Warp + bootstrap topology), (ii) the no-fork policy in Section 4, and (iii) non-sublicensability outside the ecosystem. Patents reserved under Section 5. Authority: Lux Industries Inc engineering directive 2026-06-06; Board ratification on file.
