fix(licence): correct false PMPL-1.0 claim → MPL-2.0 (G24) - #45
Merged
Conversation
Made with explicit owner approval (2026-07-01), per the manual/owner-only
licence-edit guardrail.
NOTICE, .well-known/ai.txt, and .well-known/humans.txt all declared the repo's
code as "licensed under PMPL-1.0-or-later" — false on every count:
- the root LICENSE is the Mozilla Public License 2.0;
- every source SPDX header is MPL-2.0 (docs CC-BY-SA-4.0) — NONE is PMPL;
- there is no LICENSES/PMPL-*.txt (only MPL-2.0.txt + CC-BY-SA-4.0.txt);
- julia-professional-registry is not one of the three PMPL carve-out repos
(palimpsest-license / palimpsest-plasma / consent-aware-http), where the
estate licence policy confines PMPL discussion.
The NOTICE even claimed the SPDX headers were PMPL, directly contradicting
the actual MPL-2.0 headers (and the files' own MPL-2.0 SPDX lines).
Corrected all three to state the true licensing: MPL-2.0 (code) +
CC-BY-SA-4.0 (docs), matching LICENSE, the SPDX headers, and LICENSES/.
Left untouched: .machine_readable/contractiles/Trustfile.a2ml line 57 is a
lenient check (`grep -q 'PMPL\|MPL\|MIT\|...' LICENSE`) that accepts any of
several identifiers and passes correctly on MPL — it asserts nothing false.
