I looked at all of swiftshader's dependencies' licenses: SPIRV: Apache astc-encoder: Apache benchmark: Apache boost: Boost license (already part of Debian) cppdap: Apache glslang: 3-BSD, 2-BSD, MIT, Apache, GPL3, an NVIDIA license, which seems to be similar to the MIT/BSD licenses, Khronos License, already part of debian. glslang is already part of Debian json: MIT libbacktrace: BSD llvm: llvm is already part of Debian llvm-subzero: same license as LLVM marl: Apache Let me know if there is any way I can help! c
