Description
Context
Groundwork is Apache-2.0 but composes with MIT-licensed upstream skills (Superpowers). The Apache-2.0 machinery — patent grants, NOTICE propagation, explicit contribution terms — serves multi-contributor corporate projects with patentable technology. Groundwork is a single-contributor methodology project where none of that applies.
The license choice also drives the ATTRIBUTION.md overhead and "Groundwork Originals" branding identified in #5.
What Apache-2.0 provides over MIT
- Explicit patent grant — self-to-self with one contributor
- Patent retaliation clause — no patentable surface in methodology skills
- NOTICE file propagation — the attribution machinery we're trying to shed
- Explicit contribution terms — implicit under MIT via standard PR workflow
Change
