Relicense to MIT OR Apache-2.0, following upstream; release 1.0.0 - #10
Merged
Conversation
Upstream relicensed in macroxue/bridge-solver dc2d4df (2026-08-14), from GPL-2.0 to MIT OR Apache-2.0, at the owner's own hand. The GPL obligation this project inherited in 3e9a802 came solely from that upstream licence, so it falls away with it. Matching upstream's pairing rather than picking our own: it passes his grant through undiminished instead of narrowing what downstream users get, and MIT OR Apache-2.0 is what crates.io consumers expect. LICENSE removed (GPL-2.0 text) LICENSE-MIT new LICENSE-APACHE new; stock Apache-2.0, body byte-identical to upstream's Cargo.toml license = "MIT OR Apache-2.0" wasm/Cargo.toml likewise README.md licence section rewritten web/src/App.vue footer Both licence files carry Hanhong Xue's copyright notice as well as this project's. MIT requires the notice be retained and Apache-2.0 s4(a)-(c) the same, so his is reproduced with the years he asserts (2013-2026) and his own name, not his GitHub handle. Upstream ships no NOTICE file, so Apache-2.0 s4(d) carries nothing forward. No per-file headers, still matching upstream. The provenance comments are untouched and now read as attribution rather than evidence: the "Port of macroxue/bridge-solver" lines in src/lib.rs and Cargo.toml, the 64 comments recording correspondence with specific C++ functions, and the note in src/search.rs on the deliberately replicated upstream Have(Cards) defect. Not addressed here: the v0.4.0 release archives bundle the GPL-2.0 text and are now stale in the other direction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The three manifests had drifted apart — the crate was at 0.5.0 after #8 while the wasm bindings and the web app were still on 0.4.0, having last moved together at 0.4.0. Bringing all of them to 1.0.0 puts the whole project back on a single number and makes the release tag mean the same thing everywhere. 1.0.0 rather than another 0.x: the licence is now settled and permissive, the PBN annotation pass in #8 completed the CLI, and the public surface is one worth committing to. Both Cargo.lock files and web/package-lock.json are regenerated to match. The committed Cargo.lock still pins the internal crates to git+https sources, with no local-path entries.
