Normalize licensing to MPL-2.0 (code) + CC-BY-SA-4.0 (docs) (#35)

hyperpolymath · Jonathan D.A. Jewell · claude · web-flow · commit 561c574d10fa · 2026-06-26T12:58:00.000+01:00
* Add SPDX header to LICENSE and set Cargo.toml license field The governance/licence-consistency check requires an SPDX-License-Identifier header on the LICENSE file and a `license` field in the manifest. The LICENSE body is MPL-2.0 text, so stamp `SPDX-License-Identifier: MPL-2.0` (matching the actual body) and set `license = "MPL-2.0"` (replacing `license-file`). Verified with standards/scripts/check-licence-consistency.sh (passes). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DF9CcCuL4YJoqs26eHsYiA * Normalize licensing to MPL-2.0 (code) + CC-BY-SA-4.0 (docs) Make the repo's licensing single and consistent, matching the wokelangiser reference policy and the merged iseriser pattern: - Remove contradictory PMPL-1.0-or-later / Palimpsest self-claims from README badges/footers, QUICKSTART, RSR_OUTLINE, STATE-VISUALIZER, and machine-readable governance (META, stapeln, deny.toml allow-list, copilot/AGENTIC SPDX directives, Trust/Must LICENSE-content checks, per-project CLAUDE.md). - Encode the docs split in REUSE dep5: *.adoc/*.md/docs/** -> CC-BY-SA-4.0, everything else -> MPL-2.0. - READMEs show MPL-2.0 (code) + CC-BY-SA-4.0 (docs) badges; full texts live in LICENSES/; root LICENSE stays MPL-2.0 for GitHub's licence chip. Preserves legitimate non-self references: cargo-deny's AGPL deny-list, the "never use AGPL" estate policy, and the Contributor Covenant CoC. Verified: standards/scripts/check-licence-consistency.sh passes; no residual PMPL/Palimpsest self-claims remain.
