License Transition Record — 2026-07-14

Historical boundary

The last revision released as the active Apache-2.0 project line is:

9440f08b6909ef2dc93dd483cfdcb4e1e86077d0

It is preserved on:

archive/apache-2.0-final

Historical grants for that revision and earlier revisions remain effective under their original terms.

Current line

Revisions after that boundary on main are released as the ARSVIN community edition under:

GPL-3.0-or-later

Current release packages must contain the GNU GPL version 3 text and must not include a historical Apache license file in a way that suggests a current license choice.

Commercial path

A separate commercial agreement may provide additional rights for material controlled by the relevant copyright holder. COMMERCIAL-LICENSE.md is only an invitation to negotiate and grants no additional rights by itself.

Third-party dependencies, contributor-owned material, standards, and historical grants retain their applicable rights and notices.

Transition controls

The transition adds:

• current-license verification;
• GPL package metadata;
• historical branch and documentation;
• commercial, copyright, trademark, CLA, DCO, and provenance files;
• updated README, website, generated documentation, installer, and release packaging;
• public wording and operational claim boundaries; and
• CI and Pages enforcement.

Limitations

This record documents repository actions and public licensing intent. It does not establish employer ownership, resolve private contractual obligations, or replace legal review for a significant commercial transaction.
