Merged
Conversation
Capture the decision to keep the source-available license and accept the Socket License-subscore cap rather than relicense to OSI/permissive, so future arch-reviews and Socket triages don't re-suggest relicensing.

Records the decision (from a
/triage+ grill-with-docs on improving the Socket.dev score) to keep the source-available license and accept the structurally-capped Socket License subscore, rather than relicense to an OSI/permissive license.Rationale: no OSI license reproduces the anti-compete moat the SAL exists for. The cap is an accepted cost of the business model, not a defect. Declares the license machine-readably via its SPDX
LicenseRefid and acknowledges inherent installer capability alerts in Socket triage instead.Prevents future arch-reviews / Socket triages from re-suggesting relicensing.
