The repository declared conflicting code licenses and treated attribution as permission to redistribute OpenSky data. This change consistently applies MIT OR Apache-2.0 to workspace/package metadata and shipped license files, and separates the code license from data and trained-checkpoint rights.

Remove both checked-in OpenSky captures: the Frankfurt acquisition sample and London holdout. Replace the acquisition sample with a deterministic, wholly synthetic Parquet fixture generated offline, with explicit row and file provenance. Keep acquisition/schema tests working without live data, default any explicitly requested future capture to ignored data/, and ignore the other acquisition-output directories. The earlier captures remain in historical Git commits; this PR does not rewrite history.

Document the applicable OpenSky terms, distinguish API access from dataset-specific grants, and require documented rights before distributing trained checkpoints. Reopen real-data validation task 2.7: synthetic fixture checks do not establish real-data acceptance. Future OpenSky work awaits the maintainer's account/API access and applicable use permissions. No live capture was performed for this change.

Validation on the combined implementation: 147 Python tests passed, with 3 expected optional-training/ONNX skips; Ruff and Pyright passed; all 50 OpenSpec items pass strict validation. The original licensing change also verified packaged Rust and Python license files. A tracked-file audit identified the two removed captures; remaining checked-in data artifacts are documented synthetic fixtures or orbital references. The branch includes the merged OAuth, dependency, code-quality, and CodeQL changes; all final CI checks passed, including Rust/Python CodeQL and the cross-platform builds.

OpenSky removed HTTP Basic authentication from its REST API; the
`--credentials USER:PASS` path in the acquisition layer could no longer
authenticate at all. This blocks flight-data-training-pipeline finding #1:
anonymous access yields ~55 bbox polls/day (nominally 400 credits), which
produced the cruise-dominated capture (0.06% coord_turn labels) that task
6.8's maneuvering-scenario failure traces back to.

Add `acquisition.opensky_auth` implementing the `client_credentials` grant
as an `httpx.Auth` flow: mints a bearer token, caches it until 60 s before
expiry, and re-mints once on a 401 before replaying the request. Token
requests travel over the caller's transport, so the whole flow is testable
through a single `MockTransport` with no network or real credentials.

Credentials resolve from `OPENSKY_CLIENT_ID`/`OPENSKY_CLIENT_SECRET`
(matching the existing `ADSBX_API_KEY` convention), then from a JSON file
defaulting to `~/.config/opensky/credentials.json` — the exact format
OpenSky's web UI emits, accepted unmodified. Secrets are not accepted as
CLI flags: `argv` is readable by other users via `ps`. The removed
`--credentials` flag is retained as a hidden argument purely to emit a
migration error, since it is otherwise an unambiguous argparse prefix of
`--credentials-file` and would silently bind to it.

`--time` (historical replay) now fails fast when unauthenticated instead of
silently returning the current snapshot.

Authenticated budget is 4,000 credits/day (8,000 for an active feeder)
versus ~400 anonymous.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project changes from Apache-2.0 to MIT OR Apache-2.0. Crates now include both license files. Trained-model terms follow data lineage, and model cards must record lineage and release terms.

Licensing and model lineage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dual-license foundation
Cargo.toml, LICENSE-MIT, README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CHANGELOG.md, LICENSING.md, TRAINING.md, crates/thresh-core/src/time.rs
The workspace and documentation now use MIT OR Apache-2.0. The repository adds the MIT license text and updates contribution and dependency-license references.
Crate license distribution
crates/*/LICENSE-*, crates/thresh-py/pyproject.toml
Publishable crates expose Apache and MIT license files through symlinks or full license texts. The Python package metadata uses MIT OR Apache-2.0.
Model lineage policy
LICENSING.md, TRAINING.md, openspec/changes/flight-data-training-pipeline/*, test-data/models/MODEL_CARD.md
Checkpoint terms now depend on training-data lineage. Specifications, tasks, and model-card entries require recording lineage and release terms.

Do not publish OpenSky-derived data without written authorization.

OpenSky's terms restrict licensed data to the recipient's institute and research collaborators. The repository currently permits a subset in the repository and a full dataset on a public host, and identifies a checked-in OpenSky-derived artifact. If a written authorization or dataset-specific grant does not cover redistribution, remove these statements and the affected artifacts from LICENSING.md and openspec/changes/flight-data-training-pipeline/design.md.

…erms follow data lineage

LICENSING.md and the archived, deferred `crates-io-publishing` change already
said `MIT OR Apache-2.0`; the manifest, LICENSE, README and pyproject still said
Apache-2.0 only. Make them agree.

- Rename LICENSE to LICENSE-APACHE, add LICENSE-MIT; place both in every
  publishable crate (symlinks; real copies in thresh-py, whose wheels are built
  on Windows) so published crates and wheels carry the texts.
- Workspace `license`, thresh-py `pyproject.toml`, README badge and License
  section, CONTRIBUTING inbound-license sentence, thresh-core::time rustdoc.
- Trained models: stop saying every checkpoint is released under the code
  license. Terms follow data lineage (synthetic truth: code license;
  OpenSky-derived truth: research and evaluation only; ADSBx: not released).
  Recorded as design Decision 27 (amends 13) of flight-data-training-pipeline,
  with a SHALL in both learned-* delta specs, tasks 8.4/8.5, TRAINING.md and the
  model card. No trained checkpoint ships today, so nothing published changes.

Verified: cargo fmt, clippy -D warnings on thresh-core, `cargo package --list`
includes both license files, `maturin sdist` lists them as License-File, and
`openspec validate flight-data-training-pipeline --strict` passes.
`openspec validate --all --strict` fails on develop already (26 main specs with
placeholder Purpose sections); not touched here.

…bution grant

Read the OpenSky General Terms of Use & Data License Agreement (checked
2026-09-20). Sections 1 and 3 limit ordinary use to non-profit research and
education and restrict sharing outside the recipient institute; commercial use
and operational REST API use need a written licence. Attribution alone does not
authorise redistribution, and a Zenodo dataset's supplemental terms are not the
same permission as an API capture.

Corrects this branch's earlier wording, which called the data "redistributable
under academic / non-commercial terms" and said a subset "may ship with this
repository".

- LICENSING.md: OpenSky section retitled "distribution requires verified
  rights", with the terms cited and dataset-specific grants called out.
  Checkpoint release now requires documented rights, not a lineage label.
- TRAINING.md: capture to a developer-local path with an explicit --out;
  verify the intended use first.
- test-data/trajectories/README.md: the checked-in opensky-sample.parquet was
  captured through the API, not from a separately licensed Zenodo dataset. No
  redistribution grant for it is documented here, so its authorisation is
  unverified: the maintainer must establish the grant or replace or remove it.
- test-data/models/MODEL_CARD.md: record the dataset, its terms or written
  authorisation, and the basis for training and distribution rights before a
  stub is replaced.
