Summary

  • ERD Studio moves from MIT to the PolyForm Shield License 1.0.0. Anyone may use, modify and share it, at home or at work, for any purpose except offering a product that competes with it. Only the author may sell it or relicense it. Versions published before this change remain under MIT.
  • One licence covers the whole repository: the root LICENSE (with the licence's Required Notice: and Licensor Line of Business: lines), mirrored in mcp-server/LICENSE for the npm package. The Atlassian Forge app in forge-app/ is covered by the same file.
  • Every "MIT" / "open source" mention now reads "free to use, source available": the root and mcp-server READMEs and badges, the docs comparison page, the social preview generator and the feedback-analysis prompt. Package manifests use "license": "SEE LICENSE IN LICENSE".
  • Changelog entry under ## Unreleased.

The branch's first two commits removed the Forge app and then restored it under a directory-specific Noncommercial licence; the final commit supersedes both, so the net diff against main is the relicensing only. Nothing in the extension's behaviour, the VSIX contents or the tests changes (compile, build, 1510 unit tests, npm audit and the packaged file count all pass).

The Atlassian Forge (Confluence macro) app under forge-app/ is being
taken private. It was never part of the extension build, the VSIX or
the tests, so nothing shipped changes; the .vscodeignore entry and the
CI comment that named it are dropped with it.

…l licence

Restores forge-app/ (removed in the previous commit) and licenses it
separately from the MIT extension: the PolyForm Noncommercial License
1.0.0 lets anyone use, modify and share it for noncommercial purposes,
while commercial use and relicensing stay with the copyright holder.
The directory's README, package.json licence field, the root README
and the changelog say so.

ERD Studio moves from MIT to PolyForm Shield 1.0.0: anyone may use,
modify and share it, at home or at work, for any purpose except
offering a product that competes with it. Versions published before
this commit remain under MIT.

One licence now covers the whole repository, so the Forge app's
separate Noncommercial licence from the previous commit is folded
into the root LICENSE (mirrored in mcp-server/LICENSE for the npm
package). The package manifests use "SEE LICENSE IN LICENSE", and
every "MIT" / "open source" mention in the READMEs, the docs
comparison page, the social preview and the feedback prompt now
says "free to use, source available".
