Split license summary
What the upstream license summary says
The practical reading rule is simple: identify whether the material is research/documentation or code/tooling, then check for a narrower notice before relying on the default.
- Research and documentation
- CC BY 4.0 unless narrowed by a closer noticeThe upstream license summary applies Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International to physics research, ontology material, GR-derivation material, manuscripts, generated manuscript PDFs, research-path articles, explanatory diagrams, and non-code research documentation unless a file or directory says otherwise.
- Code and tooling
- Apache-2.0 unless narrowed by a closer noticeThe upstream license summary applies Apache License, Version 2.0 to scripts, tests, project-control schemas, validation tools, repo-local agent tooling, and AI research-control implementation unless a file or directory says otherwise.
- Mixed files
- Nearest explicit notice controlsFor mixed prose and executable material, use the nearest explicit file or directory notice. Without a narrower notice, prose defaults to CC BY 4.0 and executable or validation material defaults to Apache-2.0.
