LICENSING / SOURCE

Every hosted byte has a paper trail.

The interface uses EmulatorJS 4.2.3 under GPL-3.0 and a VICE x64sc core under GPL-2.0-or-later. C64 Vault removes the upstream core’s separately copyrighted Commodore firmware bytes, substitutes the pinned LGPL/MIT Open ROMs C64 firmware, removes drive firmware, and runs with true-drive emulation disabled. A disclosed local EmulatorJS patch removes its external version poll; no emulation behavior is changed. Library items retain their own zlib, Apache-2.0, or MIT terms.

Firmware boundary: the original upstream core archives are retained only in a non-public local quarantine. They are not part of this site’s release.
