+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# Vendored `packaging` snapshot
+
+This directory holds an unmodified copy of the `packaging` library taken
+from an in-flight pull request, vendored so nab can use the public
+`VersionRange` API before the PR is merged and released.
+
+## Source
+
+- Upstream repository: https://github.com/pypa/packaging
+- Pull request: https://github.com/pypa/packaging/pull/1182
+- Source branch: `notatallshaw/packaging:public-pep440-version-range`
+- Pinned commit: `536a8a7ba0c552b4573522292d1ea63ccb4ad34c`
+- Snapshot date: 2026-05-03
+
+The snapshot is the full `src/packaging/` tree at that commit, plus
+`LICENSE`, `LICENSE.APACHE`, and `LICENSE.BSD` from the repository
+root. No code changes were made; relative imports inside `packaging`
+(`from .version import Version`, etc.) keep working when the package
+is loaded as `nab_python._vendor.packaging`.
+
+## License
+
+`packaging` is dual-licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and the
+2-Clause BSD License. The LICENSE files in this directory are the
+upstream texts; nothing here is relicensed.
+
+## Why vendor instead of depending on it
+
+`packaging` PR 1182 promotes the internal range helpers to a public
+`VersionRange` class with set algebra (intersection, union,
+complement) and `to_range()` / `from_specifier_set()` factories that
+nab's PubGrub solver depends on. The PR is open and has not yet been
+released on PyPI, so there is no version we can pin in
+`pyproject.toml`. Vendoring is a temporary measure.
+
+## Removal plan
+
+Delete this entire directory and reinstate `packaging` as a normal
+dependency once **both** are true:
+
+1. PR 1182 has merged into `pypa/packaging:main`.
+2. A `packaging` release containing the merged commit has been
+   published to PyPI.
+
+Once those hold:
+
+- Add `packaging>=<release>` back to `nab-python/pyproject.toml`
+  `[project].dependencies`.
+- Search-replace `from nab_python._vendor.packaging` ->
+  `from packaging` and `import nab_python._vendor.packaging` ->
+  `import packaging` across the workspace.
+- Remove this `_vendor/` tree.
+
+## Updating the snapshot
+
+If PR 1182 is updated and nab needs the newer code:
+
+```
+cd packaging  # the upstream fork checkout
+git fetch origin public-pep440-version-range
+NEW_SHA=$(git rev-parse origin/public-pep440-version-range)
+DEST=/path/to/nab/nab-python/src/nab_python/_vendor/packaging
+for f in $(git ls-tree -r --name-only origin/public-pep440-version-range -- src/packaging); do
+    rel=${f#src/packaging/}
+    mkdir -p "$(dirname "$DEST/$rel")"
+    git show "origin/public-pep440-version-range:$f" > "$DEST/$rel"
+done
+for f in LICENSE LICENSE.APACHE LICENSE.BSD; do
+    git show "origin/public-pep440-version-range:$f" > "$DEST/$f"
+done
+```
+
+Then update the **Pinned commit** and **Snapshot date** lines above.
