Point to the commercial edition and take a relicensing grant from contributors - #201
Conversation
…tributors The README names ReScience Lab Inc. and where to ask about the commercial edition. CONTRIBUTING now has contributors also grant the company the right to relicense their work, so a later licence change does not need every contributor's signature.

🔍 Commercial announcement has no release note
The commercial edition announcement is user-visible, but ## Unreleased has no matching entry. Contribution rules require one; the PR checklist claims documentation needs none.

Introducing a perpetual right to relicense contributions is a long-lived licensing-policy decision, but its rationale currently exists only in the commit message. Future maintainers evaluating or changing the commercial-licensing model will not have that context in the repository; add a dated decision document explaining the grant's scope and rationale.

The community projects carry other companies' screenshots and brand assets. The README now says they are not under Apache-2.0, that the desktop app and the commercial edition ship none of them, and where to ask for a takedown. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…LICENSE tldraw 5.x needs a licence key in production, not just a visible watermark. The iPhone shell in canvases/templates is third-party and does ship, so the README says so. LICENSE's copyright line now reads ReScience Lab Inc. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

💡 Codex Review
Lines 284 to 285 in 0a5d374
Identify the license for the bundled shell art
When users receive the desktop app or copy its template, they also receive seven distinct WebP exports in canvases/templates/assets.json, but “under that file's own terms” supplies neither the license name/text nor a stable source URL or author; shellbuild.py contains only a mockup title and opaque Figma ID. Recipients therefore cannot determine whether their intended commercial use or redistribution is permitted or what attribution is required, so record the exact source and applicable terms alongside the shipped assets.

README.md: a "Commercial edition" section before the licence.

The licence line now names ReScience Lab Inc. as the copyright holder.CONTRIBUTING.md: contributions stay Apache-2.0, and contributors also give ReScience Lab Inc. a perpetual licence to relicense them, including in commercial editions. This is added now, while every commit is the maintainer's own, so that a later licence change forcanvas/anddesktop/does not need anyone else to sign off.README.md, licence section: third-party screenshots and brand assets incanvases/are not under Apache-2.0, ReScience Lab Inc. is not affiliated with those companies, the desktop app (templates only since 1.7.0) and the commercial edition ship none of them, and takedown requests go to yilin.jing@rescience.com.README.md, licence section: the tldraw paragraph now says 5.x needs a licence key in production, and the third-party note names the one template image that does ship (the iPhone shell from a Figma Community mockup).LICENSE: copyright line reads ReScience Lab Inc.The licence terms themselves are unchanged.
