licence: make Apache-2.0 machine-resolvable (fixes NOASSERTION) - #43
Merged
Conversation
The previous LICENSE was a 17-line excerpt of the Apache "how to apply" boilerplate. GitHub's licence detector requires the full text, so the API reported the repo as NOASSERTION -- i.e. as published it granted no clear rights, despite the README badge claiming Apache-2.0. No change of licence is intended or made: this is the licence the project already declared, in the form that machines can verify.

GET /repos/thebeastagi/SAPIENSreturns"spdx_id": "NOASSERTION"becauseLICENSEheld only a 17-line summary rather than the full Apache-2.0 text.Effect: to anyone outside, the repo granted no clear rights, while the README badge claimed Apache-2.0.
This replaces
LICENSEwith the verbatim Apache-2.0 text and adds aNOTICE. No licence change is intended - this is the licence already declared, in a form GitHub can resolve.Verified against a disposable probe repo beforehand, including a negative control that correctly reported NOASSERTION.
