I've just found the license.
https://github.com/yuq/mesa-lima/blob/lima-17.3/docs/license.html
The license seems to be free. Still don't know if it's a legal
requirement to abide by FAR 52.227-14 and DFAR252.227-7013 though and/or
whether the readme has any weight in that regard.

This is the one stated on the sunxi wiki.
As for mesa-lima, I don't know. If FAR 52.227-14 and DFAR252.227-7013
are licenses then on the face of things they look very long and
complicated. At the bottom, it notes that there may be export
restrictions "as stated in the Software License agreement" which hints
to there being even more legal stuff. I don't want to jump to
conclusions, but I wouldn't be surprised if this software was non-free.
It looks as if AMD own the rights, maybe someone could politely ask
them, as it may be more complete than linux-lima (idk).
What I do know is that it would be nice having a free, fully-functioning
Mali 3D graphics driver, as I own a few Mali devices myself.
AFAIK those are both by the same developer, and are intended to be used
in tandem (one is a Linux fork, the other is a Mesa fork; both forks are
required to get the Mali GPU to work).
Cheers,
