Isn't it here?
https://github.com/AdvancedCustomFields/acf
If you mean the licence, it's in readme.txt:

Thanks! The GitHub app reports it as "None" (https://imgur.com/a/5dyaTfX), but now I see it's "GPLv2 or later".
Clearly AdvancedCustomFields should have filed a trademark to prohibit Wordpress from fully stealing it.
GPL code, trademarked branding. If you want to fork then you have to actually fork.
Oh the irony.

They did:
Advanced Custom Fields — https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=98321164&caseSearchType=U...
ACF — https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=98321135&caseSearchType=U...
Oh nice. Then WordPress shouldn’t be able to take over without renaming, right?
