Everything this core depends on
The Linux package carries the full generated notice for every open-source dependency inside itself, at /usr/share/doc/forestvpn-quantum/copyright — that list runs to tens of thousands of lines, which is why it ships with the package rather than on this page. What's above is the notice for the portions of the tunnel engine covered by that license.
