Third-Party Notices
This file supplements StarPilot's root LICENSE. StarPilot-original contributions are offered
under that MIT license. Third-party material remains subject to its original terms; inclusion here
does not relicense it or imply endorsement by an upstream project or contributor.
BluePilot bp-7.0 Ford support
Portions of StarPilot's Ford lateral control, CAN integration, panda safety logic, vehicle data, and related tests are adapted from the public BluePilot repository:
- Source: https://github.com/BluePilotDev/bluepilot/tree/bp-7.0
- Audited
bp-7.0snapshot:e1d051d7ba270261b4455068bd68f1a58db15a4a - Historical reconstruction: CREDITS.md
- Provenance and contributors: CREDITS.md
The upstream branch contains both LICENSE and LICENSE.md. Its README points to LICENSE for
openpilot licensing, while some extension files point to LICENSE.md. Because the scope of those
two notices is not unambiguous, StarPilot preserves both and treats the more restrictive notice
conservatively for upstream-derived material. This is a record of the published notices, not a
legal conclusion about their scope.

Upstream Ford extension file notice
The upstream carstate_ext.py, values_ext.py, and several related sunnypilot extension files
carry this file-level notice:
Copyright (c) 2021-, Haibin Wen, sunnypilot, and a number of other contributors.
This file is part of sunnypilot and is licensed under the MIT License. See the LICENSE.md file in the root directory for more details.
StarPilot's Ford state integration and lateral-limit values were informed by those extension files.
The reference to “MIT License” conflicts with the nonstandard restrictions in the referenced
upstream LICENSE.md; both texts are retained here rather than silently choosing between them.
