Goal

Add Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0) to the standalone config library (config/).

Why MPL-2.0: File-level copyleft. Forks/modifications to the library source must be distributed under MPL-2.0 with source. Projects that merely use the library as a dependency are unaffected — no license change, no source sharing required.

Plan

1. Add LICENSE file

2. Add MPL-2.0 header to all .go files (17 files)

Each file gets the standard MPL-2.0 header block:

// This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public
// License, v. 2.0. If a copy of the MPL was not distributed with this
// file, You can obtain one at https://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/.

Files to update:

  • config/config.go
  • config/app.go
  • config/stubs.go
  • config/core/app.go
  • config/core/load.go
  • config/core/merge.go
  • config/core/write.go
  • config/core/env.go
  • config/core/codec.go
  • config/core/tag.go
  • config/core/template.go
  • config/load_test.go
  • config/merge_test.go
  • config/write_test.go
  • config/core/tag_test.go
  • config/core/merge_test.go
  • config/core/env_test.go

3. Add license metadata to go.mod

Add license directive to config/go.mod:

license = "MPL-2.0"

4. Verification

# From config/ directory
go build ./...
go test ./...
go vet ./...

Labels

  • proj-harness — licensing/tooling work
  • tier-1-easy — mechanical header addition, <50 LOC changes

Risk

  • None. Purely additive metadata changes. No code logic modified.
## Goal Add Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0) to the standalone config library (`config/`). **Why MPL-2.0:** File-level copyleft. Forks/modifications to the library source must be distributed under MPL-2.0 with source. Projects that merely *use* the library as a dependency are unaffected — no license change, no source sharing required. ## Plan ### 1. Add LICENSE file - Create `config/LICENSE` with the full MPL-2.0 text - Source: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/ ### 2. Add MPL-2.0 header to all .go files (17 files) Each file gets the standard MPL-2.0 header block: ```go // This Source Code Form is subject to the terms of the Mozilla Public // License, v. 2.0. If a copy of the MPL was not distributed with this // file, You can obtain one at https://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/. ``` Files to update: - `config/config.go` - `config/app.go` - `config/stubs.go` - `config/core/app.go` - `config/core/load.go` - `config/core/merge.go` - `config/core/write.go` - `config/core/env.go` - `config/core/codec.go` - `config/core/tag.go` - `config/core/template.go` - `config/load_test.go` - `config/merge_test.go` - `config/write_test.go` - `config/core/tag_test.go` - `config/core/merge_test.go` - `config/core/env_test.go` ### 3. Add license metadata to go.mod Add license directive to `config/go.mod`: ``` license = "MPL-2.0" ``` ### 4. Verification ```bash # From config/ directory go build ./... go test ./... go vet ./... ``` ## Labels - `proj-harness` — licensing/tooling work - `tier-1-easy` — mechanical header addition, <50 LOC changes ## Risk - None. Purely additive metadata changes. No code logic modified.

Done

MPL-2.0 license applied to the config library:

  1. config/LICENSE — full MPL-2.0 text
  2. MPL-2.0 header added to all 18 .go files (3-line comment block)
  3. Pre-commit hookhooks/pre-commit checks staged .go files for the header
  4. Setup scripthooks/setup.sh installs the hook into .git/hooks/pre-commit

Build, tests, and vet all pass.
