==============

This project builds on open-source work by the StarCraft II AI community.
The steer layer (LLM chief-of-staff bridge) is original to this project and
licensed under the MIT License (see LICENSE). It is layered on top of, and
bundles, the following upstream components — each under its own license, which
is preserved in-tree.

Bundled / derived from
----------------------

1. ares-random-example  (MIT)
   https://github.com/AresSC2/ares-random-example
   `ares-bot/` was forked from this template. Its original README, LICENSE,
   `ladder.py`, `scripts/`, and build-order `*.yml` files are retained.
   Copyright (c) 2023 AresSC2. See `ares-bot/LICENSE`.

2. ares-sc2  (MIT)  — vendored under `ares-bot/ares-sc2/`
   https://github.com/AresSC2/ares-sc2
   A full copy is bundled (its LICENSE and CHANGELOG are kept alongside) so the
   bot is self-contained and ladder-uploadable, per AiArena's requirement that
   ladder bots ship their dependencies. Copyright (c) AresSC2.
   See `ares-bot/ares-sc2/LICENSE`.

3. python-sc2 / burnysc2  (MIT)
   https://github.com/BurnySc2/python-sc2
   Pulled as a dependency (not vendored); used by `smoke.py` and via ares.
