+- Calendar frame mode (`app/calendar_feed.py`) expands recurring events
+  (RRULE/EXDATE/DST) via [`recurring-ical-events`](https://pypi.org/project/recurring-ical-events/),
+  which is LGPL-3.0-or-later -- the only non-permissively-licensed
+  dependency here. It's used as an ordinary `pip install` runtime import,
+  never vendored or modified, so this project's own code stays under its
+  own license; LGPL's copyleft terms apply to that library itself, not
+  to code that merely links against it dynamically.
 - The 6-color palette RGB values in `app/image_pipeline.py`
   (`DEFAULT_PALETTE_RGB`) are approximations, not measured values
   (Waveshare doesn't publish exact color primaries for this panel).
