Amends 0024: the “every package.json says MIT” rule of decision 1 is replaced by the licence split below.

​
Context

0024 (Accepted) chose MIT with exclusions. The owner’s organisation answers OR2 to OR12 (mem L577–578, L359, L585, 2026-10-20) fix the contributor agreement, the licence split, trademarks, notices and release notes.

​
Decision

  1. Contributors (OR4). The Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) is used. No contributor licence agreement.
  2. Pledge (OR5). An open-core pledge page is published.
  3. Trademarks (OR7). Stackra and Figentra are registered in the UAE first, then in Madrid.
  4. Notices (OR8). Ported MIT code keeps its headers, and a NOTICE file lists it (ORIGIN.md and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md).
  5. Escrow (OR10). Source escrow is available on request through a provider.
  6. Release notes (OR3 and audit Q6). Changesets write release notes. A changelog formatter maps the change type to an emoji. The gate checks that pull-request titles carry the emoji and the conventional type. Commits stay plain.
  7. Licence split. @stackra/* is public MIT. @figentra/* apps and services are UNLICENSED and private.

​
Consequences

  • A contributor signs off a commit with the DCO, not a separate agreement.
  • The licence split is per scope, so a package’s licence follows its name.

​
Enforcement

planned — commitlint.config.mjs and the gate check pull-request titles; the validator’s licence check reads each package.json.

​
Alternatives

  • CLA: rejected by OR4.
