6+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
7+
8+ This work is governed by the Palimpsest License (PMPL-1.0-or-later) as
9+ its primary intended licence. PMPL-1.0-or-later extends the Mozilla
10+ Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0) with additional provisions for ethical use,
11+ post-quantum cryptographic provenance, and emotional lineage protection.
12+ The canonical PMPL text and stewardship information are maintained at:

16+ FALLBACK LICENCE: Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0)
17+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
18+
19+ Because PMPL-1.0-or-later is not yet recognised by the Open Source
20+ Initiative (OSI) or equivalent bodies, this work also carries MPL-2.0
21+ as its legally-recognised fallback licence.
22+
23+ In any jurisdiction, platform, or context where PMPL-1.0-or-later is
24+ not accepted as a valid licence, or where an OSI-approved licence is
25+ required, this work is instead governed by the Mozilla Public License,
26+ Version 2.0.
27+
28+ MPL-2.0 was chosen as the fallback because PMPL-1.0-or-later is
29+ explicitly based on and extends MPL-2.0; it is therefore the closest
30+ recognised equivalent to the intended licence.
