docs: complete the Apache 2.0 copyright notice, add License section#273
Merged
Conversation
LICENSE already had the full Apache 2.0 text, but the copyright
notice at the bottom was still the unfilled template
("Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]") and the README never
mentioned licensing at all.
- Fill in the copyright notice (2024, the repo's first commit, through
the current year)
- Add a License section to the README summarizing what Apache 2.0
grants/requires, plus a license badge in the header row
Apache 2.0 already covers what most solo maintainers mean by "a
license that protects me": Section 7's warranty disclaimer, Section 8's
liability limitation, and Section 3's explicit patent grant with a
termination clause if someone sues you over patents in your own code.
No license change needed, just completing what was already there.
