Licences: MIT for the small tools, CC BY 4.0 for the prose
An MIT licence was added to repositories that had been public without one:
cold-path-server-podman,
llm-source-security-review,
spriter,
lifechess,
eclipse-3d-sim — whose
README was rewritten in the same commit — plus
book and
daily-drift-run.
solids-hunter had a
licence file whose text had drifted from canonical MIT; the canonical text is
restored and the third-party carve-out it had absorbed lives in THIRD-PARTY.md,
where it belonged.
Two of those repositories hold writing as well as code, and they split the grant accordingly: book and daily-drift-run are now CC BY 4.0 for the prose, with MIT still covering the code that builds it.
