What is deliberately absent
Some widely-circulated FIX documentation is published under no-derivatives terms. None of it appears here — not in the dictionaries, not on these pages, and not in the packages on npm. Every description you see comes from the Apache-2.0 Orchestra sources, and where one is terse, it stays terse rather than being filled in from a source we cannot redistribute.
Notices shipped with the packages
The NOTICE and THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt files distributed with @boarteam/fix and the dictionary packages carry the full attribution text, and travel with the code wherever it is installed.
