comline-runtime is linked into user applications (generated protocol code depends on it), so unlike the GPL toolchain it takes weak, file-level copyleft: modifications to its own files stay open when distributed, proprietary apps may link it freely (MPL §3.3). - LICENSE: Mozilla Public License 2.0. - license = "MPL-2.0" on comline-runtime and the runtime-langs / extra-std member crates. - src/lib.rs: MPL Exhibit A header; drop the stale commented `# license = "Parity OR Prosperity"`. - README: written, with the License section. See docs/design/licensing.md for the project-wide split.

Project-wide relicensing (see
docs/design/licensing.md).comline-runtimeis the one piece meant to ship inside your program — generated protocol code links it — so it takes MPL-2.0 rather than the toolchain's GPL-3.0-only.Weak, file-level copyleft: modifications to this crate's own files must stay open when distributed; linking it into proprietary software is explicitly fine (MPL §3.3). That's what keeps commercial use of Comline unaffected.
