feat(legal): resolve DEC-020 — dual-license under Apache-2.0 OR MIT
Closes the only previously-open decision in the register. Chanora is
now dual-licensed under either:
* Apache License, Version 2.0 (LICENSE-APACHE), OR
* MIT License (LICENSE-MIT)
at the recipient's option. This is the standard Rust-ecosystem
permissive model and is compatible with every direct dependency
in the PoC tree:
tsclientlib MIT OR Apache-2.0
flutter_rust_bridge MIT
cpal Apache-2.0
rusqlite MIT
keyring MIT OR Apache-2.0
hound Apache-2.0
ndk-context, jni, android_logger, regex, serde, tokio,
tracing, thiserror, zeroize, etc. MIT OR Apache-2.0
and with the Flutter framework's BSD-3-Clause.
Files added:
- LICENSE-APACHE Apache 2.0 license text.
- LICENSE-MIT MIT license text with the standard 2026 copyright
line.
Files updated:
- LICENSE Now the dual-license aggregator. Includes the standard
Apache-2.0 inbound-contribution clause ("Unless you
explicitly state otherwise, any contribution
intentionally submitted for inclusion in Chanora by you,
as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be
dual-licensed as above, without any additional terms or
conditions.").
- NOTICE Rewritten with the dual-license declaration and an
inventory of direct dependencies with their upstream
licenses. Transitive deps remain to be enumerated by
build tooling (cargo about, Flutter LicenseRegistry).
- README.md §License section rewritten to point at LICENSE-APACHE
and LICENSE-MIT.
- docs/governance/product-decision-register.md v0.9.5 → v0.9.6:
DEC-020 status: Open → Accepted. §4 license row updated. §6
collapsed: every previously-Proposed or Open decision in the
register is now resolved. DEC-012 legal review remains as a
release-gating *work* item, but is not an open decision.
- docs/governance/poc-results-summary.md v0.3.0 → v0.4.0:
RISK-PoC-003 closed. DEC-020 row moved out of 'Still open'.
This is a license-model commitment, not a substitute for the
DEC-012 legal review. Per DEC-012 the actual legal review work
(transitive-dep OSS obligations, trademark registrability, final
sign-off on the non-affiliation wording) must still be completed
before any public/store release; that is sign-off work, not an
architectural decision.
