The DRFv2 (as DRFv3) as far as I know is licensed using MIT permissive
license that does not impide take the source and re-license it under other
license.

taiga.io initially have started using the DRF just like a dependency but
over time the dev-team found the needs monky-patch many and many parts of
it... Later, the dev-team have decided just include it in the code base and
remove useless (for taiga) code and add additional features.

Much of code/improvements is contributed back to the DRF (v2), other as
third party packages and some other is no, because the approaches are
diverged and the changes are just to much opinionated/coupled to the taiga
usage.

I hope I have solved your question.

Regards.
Andrey
