Comment (by sisbell):

 I can tell from the history of changes that I took the commit from Dec
 14th, 2018.

 In regards to licensing, this is a much bigger issue than just tor-
 android-service. We should be including a licensing page in the Android
 version of Tor Browser, which means we will need to track the licenses of
 all dependencies, including gradle dependencies. There are some plugins
 which can help pull this in.

 Orbot has its file here:
 https://github.com/guardianproject/orbot/blob/master/LICENSE (although
 this isn't complete from a binary dependency issue, just the main ones).

 The Apache License would just cover the changes I made to Orbot, while
 those bits that are not changed are covered by a compatible BSD style
 liscense.(if we have a Tor license I can put that in instead).
