# References and source boundary

This is an original MIT-licensed implementation. Dependencies are MoonBit's own
standard core/debug/json/env facilities (env only in the CLI); no third-party
solver or ported code is bundled. Preserve upstream toolchain licenses when
redistributing the toolchain itself; it is not shipped in this repository.
