- MIT License (MIT) Assets: The author's own files: favicon.ico and the three meta/apple-touch-*.png home-screen images are renderings of the game's logo committed to the MIT repository, and every tile, panel and background is a DOM element styled by style/main.css, so there is no art or audio of separate origin. The one third-party asset is the Clear Sans typeface (Light, Regular and Bold, Version 1.00, Font software Copyright © 2012 Intel Corporation), which upstream ships with no licence file of its own; the shipped .woff binaries carry the Apache License 2.0 notice in their name tables, and the full licence text is kept beside them at /games-runtime/2048/style/fonts/LICENSE-clear-sans.txt with the evidence written up in style/fonts/NOTICE-clear-sans.md. Apache-2.0 permits redistribution and modification, so the asset gate passes. Upstream LICENSE.txt is an unmodified MIT License, kept verbatim at public/games-runtime/2048/LICENSE.txt and served at /games-runtime/2048/LICENSE.txt; it is the repository's only licence file and was added in commit 32de41e ("add license", 2014-03-10). README.md states "2048 is licensed under the MIT license." The entry page was adapted for hosting (html lang="en", and removal of the paragraph claiming this site is the official version of 2048 along with its un-targeted link to a third-party shortener); no JavaScript or stylesheet was edited. See docs/games/2048.md.
About 2048
Every press slides all sixteen tiles at once, and equal pairs that meet merge into one. Build up to the 2048 tile and the board keeps going past it for a higher score, with your best run stored in the browser. There is no timer and no undo, so the whole game is deciding which corner to leave empty.
