Relicense to MIT (org license tiering) - #25
Merged
Conversation
Follow-up to .github-private#659, which ratified the org's license tiering (library -> MIT, runtime -> PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0) and gated it. deno.json license -> MIT, version 0.3.0 -> 0.4.0 package.json same LICENSE PolyForm text -> MIT README.md License section drift-gate is internal org tooling, not the door/room capability runtime the noncommercial tier exists to protect. The maintainer's call is that everything outside that runtime goes permissive, which puts this package in the library tier. Beyond consistency, it buys back what PolyForm costs: the id is valid SPDX but is not OSI-approved and is not in GitHub's recognised license set, so this repo reported no spdxIdentifier at all — no badge, null in the API — and was excluded from pkg.go.dev's redistributable allowlist and from clean crates.io metadata. Authority: relicensing loosens, and only the copyright holder may do it. Sole copyright holder verified across the history: bdelanghe, with the remainder the org's own bots. One-way door: 0.4.0 onward is MIT forever; <= 0.3.0 stays under PolyForm. No deno in this session, so the repo's own checks were not run locally; the change touches only manifests, LICENSE and one README line. CI is the authority.

drift-gateis internal org tooling, not the door/room capability runtime the noncommercial tier exists to protect. The maintainer's call is that everything outside that runtime goes permissive, which puts this package in thelibrarytier.What it buys back
PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0is valid SPDX but not OSI-approved and not in GitHub's recognised license set, so this repo reported nospdxIdentifier— no badge, null in the API — and was excluded frompkg.go.dev's redistributable allowlist and cleancrates.iometadata.Authority and the one-way door
Sole copyright holder verified across the org's history:
bdelanghe, the remainder being the org's own bots.MIT is irreversible per published version:
0.4.0onward stays MIT forever;≤ 0.3.0remains under PolyForm.Copyright line reads

There is no
denoin this session, so the repo's own checks did not execute locally. The change touches only the two manifests,LICENSEand one README line — but CI is the authority, not me.After merge
Publishing is a separate step. The
licgate in.github-privatereads the latest published version, and this package is not yet seeded into the registry (#618).Generated by Claude Code
