The repo had no LICENSE, which REPO_POLICIES.md lists as a mandatory
minimum file, and the README's License section said "Content is provided
as-is for community use." That granted nothing explicitly and matched no
committed file.
The repo is public, verified on the Gitea API rather than assumed, so
the standing policy applies: MIT on any public repo lacking a license.
LICENSE is byte-identical to the canonical sneak/homoicon copy (same git
blob, 3274443) and its body is word-for-word the SPDX MIT text, with
only the line wrapping differing.
The README License section now reads "MIT. See LICENSE.", and says
explicitly that the licence covers content/ as well as the code: this
repo carries both a Hugo site and its community content, while MIT's own
text speaks only of "the Software". The Description first line gains the
licence, which the README requirements call for and which was the one
field it was missing.
Nothing published contradicts the choice. The built public/ tree carries
no copyright, all-rights-reserved or terms-of-use string in index.html,
css/style.css, index.xml or sitemap.xml; the rendered footer names
@sneak and links the repo but reserves no rights, and the RSS carries no
copyright element. The content is factual mesh channel data asserting no
licence of its own.
LICENSE needed no .prettierignore entry, measured rather than assumed:
script/fmt passes prettier the explicit globs '**/*.md' and '**/*.css',
and an extensionless root file matches neither. A script/fmt run leaves
the file's hash unchanged, and a counterfactual LICENSE.md copy was
reflowed by that same run, which is the direct evidence that the
extension is what excludes it and not an ignore rule.
Per-file licence headers and SPDX identifiers are deliberately omitted;
no org standard mandates them.
Nothing on the deploy path is touched.
