chore: state the proprietary license explicitly - #472
Merged
Conversation
The repos stay public, so the posture was implicit all rights reserved with GitHub rendering "No license" in the sidebar. That absence reads to many developers as unclear, or as free to use. This states the position explicitly and reserves the Orbit and Astra marks. LICENSE joins the root allowlist so the Root Allowlist guard passes.

## What Adds a proprietary `LICENSE` (all rights reserved) and registers it in `tools/root-allowlist.json`. ## Why The repos stay public. Going private would cost roughly \$420/month in Actions overage across the three repos and would disable the free Dependency Review tier used here. Public with no LICENSE already means all rights reserved by default, so this grants and removes nothing legally. What it changes is clarity: GitHub currently renders "No license" in the sidebar, and many developers read that absence as unclear, or as free to use. An explicit file removes the good faith mistake defence and reserves the Orbit and Astra marks, which matters most on the public marketing surface. Forking stays possible either way. GitHub Terms of Service D.5 grants view and fork rights automatically on any public repo, independent of the license file. ## Notes Guards run locally: Root Allowlist, Dash Ban and the dash baseline all exit 0. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) ## Paired PRs The same change, one per repo: - thomasluizon/orbit-ui-mobile#712 - thomasluizon/orbit-api#472 - #61 Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds a proprietary
LICENSE(all rights reserved) and registers it intools/root-allowlist.json.Why
The repos stay public. Going private would cost roughly $420/month in Actions overage across the three repos, and would disable the free CodeQL, Dependency Review and SonarCloud tiers this repo relies on.
codeql.ymlin particular is free only for public repos.Public with no LICENSE already means all rights reserved by default, so this grants and removes nothing legally. What it changes is clarity: GitHub currently renders "No license" in the sidebar, and many developers read that absence as unclear, or as free to use. An explicit file removes the good faith mistake defence and reserves the Orbit and Astra marks.
Forking stays possible either way. GitHub Terms of Service D.5 grants view and fork rights automatically on any public repo, independent of the license file.
Notes
Only
.env.exampleis tracked here, so no secret material is implicated.Guards run locally: Root Allowlist, Dash Ban and the dash baseline all exit 0.
