Mac Android Subsystem is free software under the GNU General Public License v3 or later (see LICENSE).

It includes or downloads the following software, each under its own licence:

| Component | Licence | How it is used | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| QEMU | GPL-2.0 (some parts GPL-2.0-or-later, LGPL, BSD) | Bundled in `Contents/Helpers` and run as a separate program, with its libraries from Homebrew (glib, pixman, libslirp and others, under their own licences) | https://www.qemu.org/download/ (the version is in `Contents/Resources/qemu/QEMU-VERSION`) |
| EDK II (edk2-aarch64-code.fd) | BSD-2-Clause-Patent | UEFI firmware for the virtual machine | https://github.com/tianocore/edk2 |
| scrcpy server 5.0.1 | Apache-2.0 | Bundled as `scrcpy-server.jar` and run inside Android for app windows | https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy |
| LineageOS | Apache-2.0, GPL-2.0 (Linux kernel) and others | Downloaded on first launch as the Android image | https://github.com/LineageOS |

The client side of the scrcpy protocol (`apple/Shared/Scrcpy`) is an independent implementation written for this project from scrcpy's protocol documentation.

The idea of running LineageOS's `virtio_arm64only` target under QEMU on Apple silicon, and the QEMU options used, come from LineageOS's UTM and libvirt guides and from [jqssun/android-lineage-qemu](https://github.com/jqssun/android-lineage-qemu).
