Conversation
docs/terms.md named the MIT Licence while LICENSE and Cargo.toml both
declare Apache-2.0. The fleet standardised on Apache-2.0 for its explicit
patent grant; the LICENSE file and the crate manifest were migrated and
this document was not.
The grant sentence listed the MIT permissions verbatim ("use, copy, modify,
merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies"). Apache-2.0
grants a different set, so that sentence is replaced with the wording the
rest of the fleet uses.

What
docs/terms.mdstated the MIT Licence. This repo ships Apache-2.0 —both
LICENSEand the crate manifest say so. Corrected the document to match.Why this is stale residue, not a licensing change
The fleet standardised on Apache-2.0 for its explicit patent grant. The
LICENSEfile and
Cargo.tomlwere migrated; this document was not. Two independentsources already agreed against the third — nothing about what the software is
licensed under changes here, only what the document claims.
Three-way verification (after this change)
The grant sentence listed the MIT permissions verbatim ("use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies"). Apache-2.0 grants a different set, so that sentence is replaced with the wording the rest of the fleet uses.
Collision risk
The diff touches
docs/terms.mdonly, so it should not collide with other openPRs on this repo.
docs/privacy.mdis deliberately untouched.
