Motivation

  • Remove hybrid/non-commercial restrictions and make the project fully permissive under the MIT License.
  • Ensure metadata and documentation clearly reflect the new license so downstream users and citation tools see MIT consistently.

Description

  • Replaced or created the LICENSE file with the standard MIT License and set the copyright line to 2026 Don Michael Feeney Jr..
  • Updated README.md to remove non-commercial/hybrid license wording, change the repository structure note for LICENSE to "MIT License", and replace the License section with copy stating the project is 100% open-source under MIT.
  • Inserted the exact requested "## Enterprise Consulting & Integration" Markdown blurb at the bottom of README.md (immediately above the bottom-most section).
  • Updated CITATION.cff to set license: MIT and replaced other non-commercial references where present.

Testing

  • Performed repository-wide pattern searches with rg for occurrences of "hybrid license", "commercial license", "dual license", "proprietary", and variants of "non-commercial" to confirm previous restrictive references were removed or updated.
  • Inspected README.md, CITATION.cff, and LICENSE contents using file-read commands to verify the LICENSE text, the README license section, and the citation license field reflect MIT.
  • Wrote the modified files and created a PR summary via the repository tooling to record the changes for review.
