Five research artifacts under specs/research/, grounded in primary-source
license text fetched live rather than relying on training-data recall:
- TRSL-PriorArt-Survey.md: BSL 1.1, FSL, PolyForm Noncommercial, Fair
Source, Elastic License 2.0. Confirms TRSL's closed {MIT, Apache-2.0}
Future License enum and no per-Phase custom license text follows FSL's
deliberate fix for BSL's "Additional Use Grant" variability problem.
- TRSL-Terminology-Guardrails.md: confirms via OSI OSD Clause 6 that
pre-conversion TRSL cannot be Open Source; confirms README's existing
guardrail table without change.
- TRSL-FutureLicense-PatentPrecedent.md: MIT has no patent language; Apache
2.0 has an explicit contribution-scoped grant + litigation termination.
Recommends TRSL's pre-conversion phase also carry an express patent grant.
- TRSL-ContributorRights-Research.md: confirms via DCO 1.1 text that a DCO
alone is insufficient for TRSL's dual-future-license promise; recommends
a narrowly-scoped CLA over copyright assignment.
- TRSL-Jurisdiction-StandardTerms.md: deepens German §31/§32 UrhG (primary-
confirmed) and §307 BGB Transparenzgebot (secondary-confirmed, flagged
for counsel verification); corrects scope re: EU UCTD 93/13/EEC being
consumer-only vs. German AGB law covering B2B too. Ranks five terms most
needing objective definitions.
specs/TargetRevenueSourceLicense-Draft.md (T06) synthesizes all five into a
non-binding skeleton with every clause tagged [CONFIRMED BY RESEARCH],
[LEGAL], [WORKING DEFAULT], or [OPEN]. Per the T06 human-accept gate, the
workplan task stays `todo` — ready for review, not accepted.
