fix: declare the Apache-2.0 licence the LICENSE file grants - #316
Merged
Conversation
The manifest said "Appcelerator Commercial License". LICENSE says "Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0", so the module was telling the world it was closed source while shipping under an open one. The reason it went unnoticed: the file carries an Appcelerator copyright banner above the licence text, which defeats GitHub's licence detector — the repository reports NOASSERTION rather than Apache-2.0, so nothing contradicted the manifest. It reads as deliberate in a way "Specify your license" never did, which is why TI-66 normalised nine other modules and left this one. No change to the terms. The manifest now records what the LICENSE already grants.
