chore(license): migrate PMPL references to MPL-2.0 - #45
Conversation
- Fix licence gate (Trustfile.a2ml + generated build/contractile.just):
replace the vacuous/PMPL-accepting grep with a licence-agnostic positive
match plus a Palimpsest negative guard.
- Drop "(Palimpsest MPL)"/"(Palimpsest License)" qualifiers from
humans.txt, QUICKSTART-MAINTAINER.adoc, RSR_OUTLINE.adoc; replace the
Palimpsest-MPL badge with a plain MPL-2.0 badge.
- Delete docs/legal/EXHIBIT-A-ETHICAL-USE.txt and EXHIBIT-B-QUANTUM-SAFE.txt:
both are exhibits of "Palimpsest-MPL License Version 1.0" (full PMPL
licence-body artifacts), not MPL-2.0 content; drop their RSR_OUTLINE
table rows too.
- STATE-VISUALIZER.adoc: "PMPL & Ethical use verified" -> "MPL-2.0
licence verified" (the Ethical-use exhibit no longer exists).
- ci-cost-reduction.adoc: drop stale "MPL-2.0 is fallback until PMPL is
formally recognised" comment; MPL-2.0 is simply the licence now.
- .well-known/ai.txt: drop the operative "preserve Emotional Lineage per
PMPL Section 3" directive (cites a defunct licence section).
- setup-repo.k9.ncl: "add-license" example now fetches canonical
MPL-2.0 text from mozilla.org instead of the nonexistent
hyperpolymath/pmpl repo.
Left untouched: .github/workflows/rhodibot.yml (hard constraint on
workflow/uses edits — note it actively rewrites SPDX headers to PMPL,
a live re-contamination vector needing a separate fix); AGENTIC.a2ml:29
("Rule 2 names the PMPL register" documents a licence-policy rule by
name, not an instruction to apply PMPL).
Owner ruling 2026-09-02: MPL-2.0 for code, CC-BY-SA-4.0 for docs;
estate PMPL sweep Tier 2 (generator/template emitters).

WalkthroughThe changes replace Palimpsest licence references with MPL-2.0 references. Licence checks recognise common licence names and reject ChangesMPL-2.0 licence transition
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR removes retired license references and updates related documentation and examples, but it is not yet merge-ready because the example installer can silently write an HTTP error response into LICENSE and the deleted exhibits remain referenced by repository validation and directory documentation, causing those checks to fail.

In @.machine_readable/self-validating/examples/setup-repo.k9.ncl:
- Line 135: Update the LICENSE download command in the setup-repo sequence to
use a temporary file, make curl fail on HTTP errors, validate that the
downloaded content is the expected MPL-2.0 license, and move it to LICENSE only
after validation succeeds.
In `@docs/RSR_OUTLINE.adoc`:
- Line 83: Synchronize the RSR contract after removing the exhibit entries:
update the directory tree in RSR_OUTLINE and the validate-rsr checks in
validate.just so neither references the removed exhibit paths, or retain those
files consistently. Ensure the validator and documented tree describe the same
repository contents.

…bit contract Guard the emitted add-license recipe: curl -sSfL to a temp file, verify the MPL-2.0 header before moving it into place, so an HTTP error body can never become LICENSE. Remove the validate-rsr check for the never-existent licensing/ exhibit tree and the two EXHIBIT-* entries from the RSR_OUTLINE directory diagram, both orphaned by the exhibit deletion in this PR.

Summary
Owner ruling 2026-09-02: MPL-2.0 for code, CC-BY-SA-4.0 for docs; estate PMPL sweep Tier 2 (generator/template emitters). This repo's own
LICENSEwas already canonical MPL-2.0 text — this PR removes the remaining Palimpsest/PMPL references scattered through docs, badges, machine-readable trust gates, and one example script.Changes
.machine_readable/contractiles/Trustfile.a2mland its generated mirrorbuild/contractile.just(trust-license-content) replaced the vacuous/PMPL-acceptinggrep -q 'SPDX\|License\|MIT\|Apache\|PMPL\|MPL' LICENSEwith the canon two-part check:
grep -qiE 'Mozilla Public License|MIT License|Apache License|General Public License|Creative Commons' LICENSE && ! grep -qi palimpsest LICENSE(licence-agnostic positive list + Palimpsest negative guard, per vexometer PRs #78/#79).

Exhibit A is a "Palimpsest Stewardship Council" ethical-use framework; Exhibit B is a quantum-safe-provenance crypto spec that's largely licence-independent in substance — if the crypto-provenance spec itself is wanted, it can be resurrected as a standalone (non-licence-exhibit) doc. Also dropped the two corresponding rows from theRSR_OUTLINE.adocfile-table.docs/STATE-VISUALIZER.adoc: "PMPL & Ethical use verified" → "MPL-2.0 licence verified" (the Ethical-use exhibit no longer exists).docs/practice/ci-cost-reduction.adoc: dropped the stale comment "(MPL-2.0 is automatic legal fallback until PMPL is formally recognised)" — MPL-2.0 is simply the licence now, not a fallback..well-known/ai.txt: dropped the operative line "AI agents must preserve Emotional Lineage per PMPL Section 3" — an active directive citing a section of a licence being retired, not historical prose..machine_readable/self-validating/examples/setup-repo.k9.ncl: theadd-licenseexample step described "Add PMPL-1.0 license" and fetched fromhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/hyperpolymath/pmpl/main/LICENSE—hyperpolymath/pmpldoes not exist.
