The SDK release ZIP is downloaded into an ignored local `work/` directory or a
container layer and is not redistributed by this repository. Redistributors
must review the SDK's included notices and corresponding-source obligations.

`chimera-gfx` is GPL-3.0-or-later. This is compatible with linking the planned
adapter into GPLv3 RetroArch and with GPLv3-or-later SDK components, subject to
the normal GPL corresponding-source and notice requirements. This statement is
an engineering license choice, not legal advice.
