----------------------------------------------------
rfclib downloads documents of the RFC Series and their metadata from the
RFC Editor (https://www.rfc-editor.org) at the user's request and stores
them locally. Those documents are published by the IETF Trust under the
IETF Trust Legal Provisions (https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info), not
under this software's license. In particular, RFCs may be copied and
distributed in full but not modified outside the IETF Standards Process;
code components in documents published on or after November 10, 2008 are
available under the Revised BSD License. Documents published before 1986
may carry different terms. See the IETF Trust FAQ
(https://trustee.ietf.org/about/faq).

The test fixtures in tests/fixtures/library are unmodified copies of a few
RFCs and trimmed copies of RFC Editor metadata, included for offline tests
under the same terms.

Subject taxonomy and errata are fetched from the RFC Editor's published
pages and API (rfc-editor.org/subjects, rfc-editor.org/api/v1/errata.json).
The embedding model (minishlab/potion-base-8M) is downloaded from Hugging
Face under its own license when semantic search is first built.
