Applies Apache-2.0 to original code and documents, following the owner's licensing decision recorded on #9. Contributors keep their copyright, and contributions come in under Apache-2.0 (section 5). Outside material keeps its own license. Adds the verbatim license to the repository and to the new-library template.

Part of #9. #9 stays open until the remaining repo license PRs below land.

Changes since the review of 66e6bea

The branch is rebased on current main (f4ebf8d, after #21). Fixes:

• bar/template/lakefile.toml sets license = "Apache-2.0", so a library copied from the template follows LICENSE-POLICY.md. check.py already allows the key.
• bar/template/README.md and playbook/verified-bar.md no longer say the lakefile sets "nothing else" but the build. Both layout lists now name the license key and LICENSE.
• LICENSE-POLICY.md links Decide: a license for the org's code and documents #9 for the owner's decision, and says contributions come in under Apache-2.0 (section 5).
• "Fixes Decide: a license for the org's code and documents #9" is now "Part of Decide: a license for the org's code and documents #9".

The template's spec hash changes, from 187c8a73… to d3398679…, because the template README is part of the hashed page. The template records no approval, so this voids nothing.

Validation

• LICENSE and bar/template/LICENSE are byte-identical to the canonical Apache-2.0 text, sha256 cfc7749b….
• python3 -m unittest discover -s bar/tests: 81 OK, 10 skipped.
• bar/check.py bar/template --offline --no-lean: item 1 OPEN (no approval), items 2 and 4 to 6 PASS.
• lake build of the template passes on Lean 4.35.0.
• The Lean self-tests need bubblewrap, which my container lacks. CI runs them.

Remaining repository changes

The original 24 library license PRs are merged, and so are the follow-ups for hpack, der, sqlite, path, ssh, xml, clienthello, dhcpv4, ntp, mqtt, jws, uri, site, punycode, messagepack, hostname and bech32. Two are still open:

• .github#2
• cedar#2, which carries the Cedar implementation and its license

Requesting changes: the new-library template does not follow the license policy this PR adds.

Blocking:

• LICENSE-POLICY.md says a Lake package sets license = "Apache-2.0" in lakefile.toml, and that new libraries start from bar/template. But bar/template/lakefile.toml has no license key, so a library copied from the template starts out breaking the rule. Reproduce: git show 66e6bea:bar/template/lakefile.toml | grep -c license prints 0. The merged library license PRs all set the key (csv, json, tar, codec and semver have it on line 3), and #9's plan says new repos start with the same license. Two existing docs also contradict the new rule: bar/template/README.md line 46 says the lakefile "sets nothing else", and playbook/verified-bar.md line 51 says "and nothing else". Neither layout list mentions LICENSE. Fix: add license = "Apache-2.0" to the template lakefile, reword those two lines, and add LICENSE to both lists. I tried this fix. check.py --offline with Lean 4.35 passes item 3 and the other non-approval items, the spec hash stays 187c8a73..., and all 81 tests pass with BAR_LEAN=1. license is already an allowed key in check.py.

Non-blocking:

• "Fixes #9" will close #9 when this merges, while 19 repo license PRs are still drafts. "Part of #9" would keep the tracker open.
• A link to #9 would be clearer than the bare date 2026-10-28. In this org, the record is the label change on #9 that day and the edited #9 body.
• Optional: say that contributions come in under Apache-2.0 (Section 5), next to the sentence on contributors keeping their copyright.
• This conflicts with #28 and #16 in README.md. Both add a paragraph at the top of "Read more". Keep both. The fix above touches lines that #23 and #25 also edit.

What I checked:

• Head is 66e6bea. CI checks pass. It merges cleanly onto current main (8e17763).
• LICENSE and bar/template/LICENSE both have sha256 cfc7749b96f63bd31c3c42b5c471bf756814053e847c10f3eb003417bc523d30, the canonical Apache-2.0 text, matching the library repos.
• The policy matches #9: Apache-2.0 for original code and documents, contributors keep their copyright, outside material keeps its own license.
• The repo has no third-party notices or copied outside material that the README or policy would wrongly relicense.
• python3 -m unittest discover -s bar/tests: 81 OK. bar/check.py bar/template --offline --no-lean: no failures.
• git diff --check is clean.

Approving as a maintainer who did not write this, under MERGE-SOP.

Earlier blocking finding:

• The template did not follow the license policy. Fixed. bar/template/lakefile.toml line 3 is now license = "Apache-2.0". The template README (lines 46-47) and playbook/verified-bar.md (lines 51-52) now name the license key and list LICENSE.

The earlier non-blocking notes are all addressed. "Part of #9" replaces "Fixes #9". The policy links issue 9. It also states the section 5 rule for contributions. The date holds: on #9, ahrazzle edited the body to record Apache-2.0 for code and documents, and removed "needs decision", at 2026-10-28 04:06 UTC.

No other reviews or comments have come in since my last review. orda-aska answered with a force-push and a new PR body.

What I ran, at 2677be8:

• python3 -m unittest discover -s bar/tests: 81 OK, 10 skipped.
• cd bar/template && lake build on Lean 4.35.0: it builds. The only warnings are the expected sorry in Spec.lean.
• BAR_LEAN=1 python3 -m unittest discover -s bar/tests -k LeanTest: 10 OK.
• check.py . --run-tests --offline in bar/template, as CI runs it: item 1 OPEN (no approval), items 2 to 6 PASS, including lake comparator --paranoid and the differential tests.
• The spec hash moves from 187c8a73... to d3398679..., as the PR body says, because the template README is hashed. Nothing pins either hash, and the template has no approval, so nothing is voided.
• Both LICENSE files match the text from apache.org byte for byte (sha256 cfc7749b...). The same blob is on main in the library repos I spot-checked. cedar has no LICENSE yet, and cedar#2 is still open, as the body says.
• git diff --check is clean. CI passes: self-test, lean-self-test and template / bar.

Conflicts:

• It merges cleanly into main (f4ebf8d). It also merges cleanly with #25 and #27.
• #23 conflicts in bar/template/lakefile.toml. To resolve it, keep the license line and #23's defaultTargets. The README and playbook edits merge without conflict and read correctly.
• #28 conflicts in README.md. Both add a paragraph at the top of "Read more". Keep both.

Non-blocking:

• The issue API still lists #26 as closing #9. That is true even though the body says "Part of #9" and no commit uses a closing keyword. After merging, check that #9 is still open. Reopen it if not.
• Optional: the template README and the playbook say the lakefile sets the license "and nothing else". It also sets the package name, version and defaultTargets. That wording was already loose before this PR.

My approval on 2677be8 stands, but this can't merge yet. #28 merged first, and both PRs add a paragraph at the top of "Read more" in README.md, so this branch now conflicts with main (bba6dae).

The fix is to merge main into this branch and keep both paragraphs, license line first:

Original code and documents use [Apache-2.0](LICENSE). The [licensing policy](LICENSE-POLICY.md) explains contributor ownership and outside material.

The [round four and five candidate scores](research/candidate-rounds-four-five.md) record both assessments' totals and the second assessment's axis scores.

I tried that merge locally, and README.md was the only conflict. I didn't push it, because the branch is yours. Once a merge commit with this resolution is pushed, I'll approve the new head and merge.

Also, mission#23 changes bar/template/lakefile.toml, and so does this PR. Whichever merges second needs a merge commit that keeps license = "Apache-2.0" and #23's defaultTargets = ["Clamp", "ClampSpec", "ClampProofs", "clamp"].
