governance(licence): LICENSE has no SPDX-License-Identifier header → "Licence consistency" check red #282

Description

@hyperpolymath

Finding

The governance / Licence consistency check fails with:

[ERROR] LICENSE file has no 'SPDX-License-Identifier:' header

observed red on recent PR CI runs (e.g. #242, #279, which the owner merged through it). LICENSE is the verbatim MPL-2.0 text — it begins Mozilla Public License Version 2.0 with no SPDX comment line.

Assessment

Pre-existing and recurring on every PR; independent of any docs change. This is a governance-config call, the same category as #268#272.

Disposition (owner governance decision — not auto-applied)

Either:

  • (a) prepend an SPDX-License-Identifier: MPL-2.0 comment line to LICENSE; or
  • (b) exempt the LICENSE file itself from the SPDX-header requirement (the LICENSE file is the licence text).

Editing the canonical legal text is a deliberate owner action, so this is left as a decision rather than a unilateral fix.

Filed at owner request to capture remaining work on the master scheduler.
