Summary

  • Replaces the FSL-1.1-ALv2 license with Apache 2.0 across the entire CLI project
  • Updates LICENSE.md with the full Apache 2.0 license text
  • Updates license field in root package.json and all 3 platform-specific binary packages (darwin-arm64, linux-x64, win32-x64)
  • Updates the README badge and footer to reference Apache-2.0

Rationale

The CLI is the free, open-source community tool — the gateway to the Archgate plugin ecosystem. A permissive license:

  • Removes adoption friction (FSL is not OSI-approved and gets auto-rejected by many enterprise procurement filters)
  • Provides patent protection via Apache 2.0's explicit patent grant
  • Encourages community contributions (contributors are wary of source-available licenses)
  • The competitive moat is in the plugins (separately licensed), not the CLI itself

Test plan

  • Verify LICENSE.md contains the standard Apache 2.0 text
  • Verify all package.json files reference Apache-2.0
  • Verify README badge renders correctly
  • No functional code changes — license metadata only
