…port The repo has been public with no LICENSE file since 4c39d8c ("replace v2 with the jawafdehi-platform monolith"), which replaced the whole tree and took the governance files with it. That silently reverted PR #64 and PR #65, so for the last three months the code has been all-rights-reserved by default while pyproject.toml still declared `LicenseRef-Hippocratic-3.0` — the metadata and the repo disagreed, and nothing caught it. Org policy is that licence follows visibility: public repos get Hippocratic 3.0, private repos get none. This repo is public, so it gets HL3, matching the three sibling public repos (Jawafdehi, jawafdehi-mcp, likhit). LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md and the spdx-header-check workflow are restored verbatim from 4c39d8c^ — the LICENSE already read "Project: Jawafdehi API", and the other three are repo-agnostic and still accurate. Restoring the workflow is what stops this regressing again unnoticed: its first step fails the build when LICENSE is absent or not HL3. Two deliberate deviations from a verbatim restore: - LICENSING.md drops the old "Repository Coverage" table. It listed jawafdehi-meta as HL3, but meta is private and under current policy carries no licence at all, and several other rows were never verified. The compliance section is rewritten to describe what the workflow actually enforces (LICENSE presence fails, SPDX headers only warn). - pyproject.toml points `license-files` at the root LICENSE instead of the vendored `jawafdehi_mcp/LICENSE`. The built wheel was shipping the MCP project's licence as the platform's own; it now carries this repo's. Verified: `uv build --wheel` succeeds and the wheel's dist-info licence reads "Project: Jawafdehi API". The restored workflow's LICENSE gate passes and all three governance files are present. 779 of 828 source files have no SPDX header, so that step will emit warnings but cannot fail the build.

Validate the license body, not a marker string.
This check passes any file that contains Hippocratic License Version 3.0, including a modified license with unrelated terms. It also does not match the canonical HL3 3.0 header, which uses separate HIPPOCRATIC LICENSE and Version 3.0, October 2021 lines. Compare LICENSE with a pinned canonical fixture or hash, or validate the complete required text. (firstdonoharm.dev)

Use an SPDX-valid identifier for HL3.
Hippocratic-3.0 is not in the current SPDX License List; Hippocratic-3.0 is shown as a license request, while the list contains Hippocratic-2.1. SPDX uses LicenseRef-... for licenses that are not on the list. This workflow therefore accepts headers that SPDX consumers may reject. Use a documented LicenseRef-... mapping, or update this check when an official identifier exists. (github.com)

Fail when required governance files are missing.
This step only emits warnings and exits successfully. A pull request can delete SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, or CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md and still pass the workflow. Exit with a nonzero status when any required governance file is missing.

Use the actual Hippocratic License 3.0 text.
This file is labeled Version 3.0, but it uses the older human-rights and 90-day structure. Official HL3 3.0 includes definitions, copyright and patent grants, detailed ethical standards, supply-chain provisions, notice, and termination clauses.

Describe the termination timeline accurately.
The checked-in LICENSE allows up to 90 days to investigate and respond, followed by an additional 90 days to cease use. This is not a single 90-day notice-and-cure period. Preserve both stages in this summary.

User description
The problem
This repo is public with no
LICENSEfile, which means it is all-rights-reserved by default. Nobody can legally use, fork or contribute to it, and every OSS programme that checks for a licence fails us.It wasn't always missing. PR #64 added Hippocratic 3.0 and the governance files on 2026-05-10, and PR #65 added the SPDX check. Both were silently reverted by
4c39d8c("replace v2 with the jawafdehi-platform monolith"), which replaced the entire tree and droppedLICENSE,LICENSING.md,CONTRIBUTING.md,SECURITY.md,CODE_OF_CONDUCT.mdand.github/workflows/spdx-header-check.ymlas collateral damage.Nothing caught it, because the one check that would have caught it was deleted in the same commit. Meanwhile
pyproject.tomlhas gone on declaringlicense = "LicenseRef-Hippocratic-3.0"— so the package metadata and the repo have been contradicting each other for three months.What this does
Org policy is that licence follows visibility: public repos get Hippocratic 3.0, private repos get none. This repo is public, so it gets HL3 — the same as the three sibling public repos (
Jawafdehi,jawafdehi-mcp,likhit).Restored verbatim from
4c39d8c^:LICENSEProject: Jawafdehi API— no edits neededCONTRIBUTING.mdSECURITY.mdCODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.github/workflows/spdx-header-check.ymlPlus two small edits and a README section.
Two deliberate deviations from a verbatim restore
LICENSING.mddrops the old "Repository Coverage" table. It asserted thatjawafdehi-metais HL3, but meta is a private repo and under current policy carries no licence at all — restoring that verbatim would re-publish a false licensing claim. Several other rows in the table were never verified either. I also rewrote the compliance section to describe what the workflow actually enforces, rather than implying full SPDX enforcement.pyproject.tomlrepointslicense-filesfrom the vendoredjawafdehi_mcp/LICENSEto the rootLICENSE. The built wheel was shipping the MCP project's licence file as the platform's own licence. The vendored copy and itsforce-includeare left alone — it's accurate for the vendored code.Verification
uv build --wheelsucceeds, and the wheel'sdist-info/licenses/LICENSEnow readsProject: Jawafdehi API(it previously carried the MCP one).LICENSEis present and contains HL3.One thing to flag: 779 of 828 source files have no
SPDX-License-Identifierheader. That step only emits::warning::, neverexit 1, so CI cannot fail on it — but expect warning annotations on this and subsequent PRs. Adding 779 headers is a separate mechanical change; alternatively that step could be dropped. Reviewer's call, and I'd rather surface it than quietly bundle it in here.Not in scope
HL3 is not OSI-approved, so it keeps us ineligible for licence-gated free tiers (Greptile, Macroscope). Relicensing to MIT/Apache is a separate org decision, not something to slip into a restore PR.

LICENSEfile restored here is titled "Hippocratic License Version 3.0", but it is not the official text:HIPPOCRATIC LICENSE/Version 3.0, October 2021and runs eight sections: Definitions, Intellectual Property Grants, Ethical Standards, Supply Chain Impacted Parties, Notice, Representations and Warranties, Termination, Miscellaneous.Rights Granted, clauses 1–3 ending inEnforceability, then an MIT-style warranty disclaimer. It matches neither official version. It borrows HL 2.1's concepts (human-rights compliance, 90-day cure, indemnity) in a hand-written wrapper and labels the result 3.0.So we are asserting a named public licence while shipping a custom variant of it. That has two consequences worth naming: downstream users cannot rely on the published HL3 terms, and the SPDX identifier
LicenseRef-Hippocratic-3.0inpyproject.tomlpoints at something that is not that licence.This is deliberately not fixed in this PR. The same file is in
Jawafdehi,jawafdehi-mcpandlikhit, so it is an org-wide licensing question, and swapping in the authentic 3.0 core text would materially change our terms — it adds a patent grant, supply-chain obligations and a different termination regime, and HL3 has optional modules (ECO, MIL, MEDIA, …) that someone has to choose between. That is a call for the org, not a side effect of restoring a deleted file.What this PR still achieves on its own: the repo goes from no licence at all (all rights reserved, nobody may use or contribute) to the same licence the other three public repos carry, and the restored CI gate means it cannot silently disappear again. Fixing the text itself should be a follow-up across all four repos.
CodeRabbit's other findings are all pre-existing content in files restored verbatim from
4c39d8c^— the weakgreplicence gate, the non-SPDXHippocratic-3.0identifier in the header check, and the governance-file step warning instead of failing. I have left them untouched to keep this a restore rather than a rewrite; happy to fix any of them here if preferred.
