Licence policy: additive clarifications (007, no-automation, variant cleanup) — Rules 1–3 unchanged#138
Merged
Conversation
Owner decision 2026-05-18 (option A), taken with the prior lawyer-backed position in view: supersede 'PMPL-declared + MPL-2.0 invisible fallback' with 'MPL-2.0 declared default; PMPL = future overlay only'. - LICENCE-POLICY.adoc rewritten as the constitution; old model recorded as explicitly superseded (history kept, not erased). - Son exception generalised to 'son owns/admins -> AGPL-3.0-or-later' with IDApTIK + ASS as named instances (reconciles broad session rule with the doc's specific instances). - 007 reframed: full commercial dual-use, hazardous to declare -> out of scope entirely (never scan/label/sweep). - Rules 5/6 keep third-party-never-relicense + no-automated-edits. - .machine_readable/licensing-policy.toml: tool-readable rules (NOT a REUSE per-file map — that would assert a contradiction with still- legacy PMPL headers; encodes rules, not per-file claims). Transparency: this file's OWN SPDX header flipped PMPL->MPL-2.0. That is a single owner-directed hand edit of the constitution doc itself (authoring, not an automated sweep) — the policy doc must not carry the header it supersedes. Objectable if the owner disagrees. Refs PR rsr-template-repo#62; LICENSING-DEBT-AND-REMEDIATION. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Corrects this branch's earlier (mistaken) supersession. A read-only estate audit confirmed the original three Rules are correct: PMPL-1.0-or-later is the disciplined estate standard, and PMPL = Palimpsest-MPL v1.0 (incorporates MPL-2.0 by reference with the Rule 2 MPL-2.0 fallback). The prior policy was internally coherent. Net diff vs main is now purely ADDITIVE — Rules 1-3 verbatim, plus: - Addendum A1: 007 out of scope (full commercial dual-use, hazardous to declare) - A2: no automated licence edits (manual, owner-only) - A3: variant normalisation (PMPL-1.0 / -or-later-or-later -> PMPL-1.0-or-later) is the only debt, manual - A4: son AGPL vs PAGPL-1.0-or-later flagged as OPEN owner question (not asserted) - Enforcement: reference the (reframed) spdx-policy-guard - .machine_readable/licensing-policy.toml rewritten to the TRUE policy Pairs with rsr-template-repo#63 (revert of the mistaken default flip).

Re-scoped. An earlier push on this branch wrongly superseded the policy. A read-only estate audit then established the original three Rules are correct:
