+# License of Tinyboard
+This code is licensed under BOTH a vichan license and a Tinyboard license.
+You must agree to both (not either) licensing terms in order to use this
+software. The Tinyboard license terms can be found in a LICENSE.Tinyboard.md
+file.
+
+# Brief
+This section is not a law code, it just describes the license in a
+human-friendly way.
+
+Both licenses are slight modifications of the MIT/X11 license. This is a
+permissive license, you can do anything with code, but you just have to leave
+copyright notices untouched. Beside, we give you absolutely no guarantees.
+
+Tinyboard and vichan licenses also clarify, that the copyright notices found
+in the template footers are also covered by the copyright notice preservation
+clause.
+
+# Exception
+It is explicitly allowed for the Tinyboard upstream, to take vichan
+changesets under a Tinyboard license.
