# Licensing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two licenses, because this repository holds two different kinds of thing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**The code is Apache License 2.0.** See [LICENSE](LICENSE). That covers the
|
refactor: split the repo into self-contained validator, directory, quickstart, spec and site folders
validator/ holds mewslint (lint, css, fetch, DTD/CSS data); directory/ holds
the mews.page service (app, db, check, pages, cli) and depends on validator/;
quickstart/ holds mews-quickstart and md2mews.py for third parties who want
to create Mews content without cloning the repo; spec/ consolidates doc/ and
dtd/ with the canonical mews-0.1.css; site/ becomes a Pelican project with
the forward-facing pages as Markdown, the check form kept as a raw HTML
snippet. Root pyproject.toml is now a virtual uv workspace over validator,
directory and quickstart, with cross-cutting tests that span more than one
of them staying at the repo root. Makefile and flake.nix updated to match.

validator under `validator/`, the directory service under `directory/`,

|
|
|
|
the quickstart and Markdown tools under `quickstart/`, `spec/check_dtd.py`,
|
|
|
|
|
the Pelican plugin under `pelican-mews/`, the packaging, the tests, and the
|
|
|
|
|
pages of the mews.page site itself under `site/`.

it came from and pass the same terms on.

**The default stylesheet, `mews-0.1.css`, is Apache 2.0**, even though section
|
|
|
|
|
5.1 of the specification prints it in full. Section 5.2 asks every site to host
|
|
|
|
|
its own copy, and nobody should have to wonder whether that puts a share-alike
|
|
|
|
|
condition on the pages it styles.
