…emark, patents Establishes the licensing/optionality posture (no relicensing of the open core): - Fix README "License" section (was incorrectly "MIT") to reflect the real dual-license: Apache-2.0 (code) + CC BY 4.0 (spec/docs) + RF patent grant. - Correct copyright entity "Auxo" -> "Project Auxo, Inc." across NOTICE, LICENSE, LICENSE-DOCS, ~30 package author fields, and a doc reference. - Add CLA.md (license-back to Project Auxo, Inc. with relicensing + patent rights) + a CLA-assistant workflow + CONTRIBUTING step. [DRAFT, pending legal review] - Add TRADEMARK.md (CHP / CHP-Certified marks; conformance-gated certification) and a trademark notice in NOTICE. [DRAFT] - Add PATENTS (royalty-free patent grant for implementing the spec, scoped to essential claims; defensive termination). [DRAFT] - Add GOVERNANCE.md (per-asset license map + the open/commercial boundary) and docs/adapter-strategy.md (open / commercial / certified three-tier model). Conformance suite green; all pyproject.toml parse. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Locks in CHP's licensing posture for maximal optionality without restricting the open core. Grounded in a review that found the architecture already sound (Apache code + CC BY 4.0 spec) but with concrete gaps.
