The externally maintained libraries used by Neovim are: - Klib: a Generic Library in C. MIT/X11 license. - Lua: MIT license - LuaJIT: a Just-In-Time Compiler for Lua. Copyright Mike Pall. MIT license. - Luv: Apache 2.0 license - libmpack: MIT license - libtermkey: MIT license - libuv. Copyright Joyent, Inc. and other Node contributors.

The Vim license follows: VIM LICENSE I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except that they must include this license text. You can also distribute unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage examples and Vim scripts. II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim, including executables and/or source code, when the following four conditions are met: 1) This license text must be included unmodified. 2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways: a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks you (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you must make your changes, including source code, available to the maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to include your changes in the official version of Vim. What the maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation then this license, or a later version, also applies

This text covers the limitation of liability, warranty terms, and licensing details for Neovim. It states that Contributors aren't liable for damages, allows redistribution with offered support/warranty at the redistributor's own risk, and outlines the use of Apache 2.0 except for Vim-licensed parts and external libraries. It then lists the externally maintained libraries and their corresponding licenses, and finally presents the terms of the Vim license.
