Why a licence change matters in diligence

Code taken under the old terms stays under them. A buyer, a host or a fork may rely on either set, so both matter. A change toward source-available terms can restrict production use or offering the software as a service.

How this is counted

  • Each project counts once, from its newest public reading.
  • Only the root licence file counts, as it changed on the main line. A change on a branch counts when it lands.
  • A change that no release carried is set aside.
  • A move from one permissive licence to another is not counted: it changes nobody's rights in a way diligence weighs.
  • A change Borehole could not confirm from the history is left out.
