⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE — license switch from MIT to CC BY-NC 4.0.

Versions ≤ v0.5.5 remain under MIT and retain their original commercial-use rights for those specific versions. From v0.6.0 onward, commercial use is prohibited without a separate license.

Why CC BY-NC 4.0

  • Aligns with several skills in the ecosystem (academic-research-skills, humanities-writing-companion) that use the same license, simplifying license-stacking for combined use
  • Reserves commercial rights for the author's own work (Tianyu Vision)
  • Permits all non-commercial use: academic research, teaching, personal projects, open-source derivatives

What changed

  • LICENSE: replaced MIT text with full CC BY-NC 4.0 legal code from creativecommons.org
  • README.md / README_EN.md: license badge swapped; License section rewritten with change notice + Commercial Use subsection
  • examples/aristotle-perspective/README.md + examples/stiegler-perspective/README.md: same badge + License section updates (perspective examples inherit the parent repo's license)

Companion repos

Sibling projects humanities-writing-companion also relicensed to CC BY-NC 4.0 (at its v3.0.0).
