From efc1c19636dce53f40a83731a5637fe5343fbbb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: TMHSDigital <154358121+TMHSDigital@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2026 12:15:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs(license): MIT for snippets/ and templates/ so copy-and-adapt is lawful README tells readers to copy snippet lines and adapt templates, which is a derivative work that CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0 forbids. snippets/ and templates/ now carry their own MIT LICENSE; skills, rules, examples, showcase, docs and site stay under CC-BY-NC-ND-4.0. README, AGENTS.md and the CONTRIBUTING inbound grant say so.
