# Third-Party Notices

Unless otherwise noted, original TALOS-V2 source code, RTL, scripts,
configuration, and documentation are licensed under the Apache License, Version
2.0. The following files and directories include third-party material,
generated artifacts, or tool/vendor generated outputs that may be subject to
separate terms.

## Intel / Altera FPGA IP and Generated Files

The `rtl/ip/jtag_microgpt_bridge/` directory contains Intel/Altera Platform
Designer/Qsys IP outputs and related generated files. Several files in this
directory carry Intel Corporation or Altera Corporation copyright notices and
state that use is subject to Intel FPGA tool and IP license agreements.

These files are not relicensed by TALOS-V2. Preserve their notices and comply
with the applicable Intel FPGA/Quartus license terms.

The following project/report files are also generated by or for Intel Quartus
Prime flows and may contain Intel notices or tool-output restrictions:

- `rtl/de1_soc_microgpt_rtl.pin`
- `rtl/de1_soc_microgpt_rtl.qpf`
- `rtl/de1_soc_microgpt_rtl.qsf`
- `rtl/de1_soc_microgpt_rtl.sdc`
- `rtl/c5_pin_model_dump.txt`
- `rtl/docs/c5_pin_model_dump.txt`

## Andrej Karpathy microGPT Reference Material

This project implements an FPGA RTL inference path inspired by Andrej
Karpathy's microGPT work and includes reference material for comparison and
documentation.

Known related paths:

- `rtl/microgpt/microgpt.py`
- `rtl/docs/description.md`
- `rtl/docs/microgpt.txt`
- `rtl/python/karpathy_exact_reference.py`
- `rtl/python/reference_equivalence.py`
- `rtl/python/test_reference_equivalence.py`

The copied reference article/text and the original microGPT-style Python source
are attributed to Andrej Karpathy. They are included for reference and
validation context and are not relicensed by TALOS-V2 unless their upstream
license explicitly permits that use.

## makemore Names Dataset

The microGPT reference code downloads or uses the names dataset from Andrej
Karpathy's `makemore` project. The repository-local dataset and trained weights
are related to that reference workflow:

- `rtl/microgpt/names.txt`
- `rtl/microgpt/weights_only.npy`
- `rtl/microgpt/model_weights_init.npy`
- `rtl/microgpt/model_weights_init_flat.npy`
- `rtl/generated/*.hex`

Treat these data and generated model artifacts as separate from the original
TALOS-V2 implementation license unless you have verified the upstream dataset
and model-artifact permissions for your intended use.
