FLAG: discarded local edit wanted iseriser relabelled PMPL-1.0-or-later — owner decision needed #104
Description
Activity
Ruling: not intended — iseriser stays MPL-2.0 (code) / CC-BY-SA-4.0 (docs). Closing per this issue's own instruction.
Ruling recorded 2026-09-21. No licence change. The ratified split stands.
Grounds
standards/3-practice/LICENCE-POLICY.adoc, Rule 1 — the estate default is MPL-2.0 (code) / CC-BY-SA-4.0 (prose). iseriser is category-default with no Rule 3/4/5 classification.- Rule 2 — PMPL is an explicit register (currently five repos:
palimpsest-license,palimpsest-plasma,consent-aware-webprospective,insolvency-tycoon,sim-public-relations; the "exactly three" cap cited in this issue's body was lifted by owner ruling 2026-08-26). iseriser is not register-named, and a PMPL declaration in a repo not named there is defined as drift, detectable as such. Adding a name is an owner decision — no such decision exists or is being made. - A2 — never relicense an existing file; never run an automated licence sweep. The discarded local edit had no authority even had it survived.
- R-16 / ruling R-28b (iseriser singleton) — a merge resolution must not enact a licence change; origin's ratified tree was correctly kept. The discarded edit remains preserved in the estate control tree at
forensics/r16-class-conflict-reports/iseriser.diff— retained as forensic record, no further action. - Owner ruling 2026-09-02, already executed — chore(license): migrate PMPL scaffold emissions to MPL-2.0 per owner ruling #106 ("migrate PMPL scaffold emissions to MPL-2.0 per owner ruling", merged 2026-09-02) restored the canonical MPL-2.0 text in
src/codegen/scaffold.rs'sgenerate_license(), fixedguix.scm, and installed thecontractile.justlicence gate. That ruling post-dates this flag by two days; this comment is the bookkeeping that closes the loop.

Cross-links (estate bookkeeping)
- [register] Owner-decision backlog — 17 issues blocked on a ruling, not on effort standards#637 — owner-decision register: this item is resolved by this ruling.
- Estate licence cascade (PMPL -> MPL/CC-BY-SA axis) — per HANDOFF standards#404 — estate licence cascade: iseriser lane done (source emissions fixed in chore(license): migrate PMPL scaffold emissions to MPL-2.0 per owner ruling #106).
- Fix the scaffold that propagates 'License: PMPL-1.0-or-later' (runbook §7a source fix) standards#645 — runbook §7a source fix: distinct template family (rsr-template/scaffoldia/
llm-warmup-*); iseriser is not its source repo, but iseriser's own emissions were the same contamination class and are fixed. - Add LicensePolicy dispatch override (never auto-execute licence findings) gitbot-fleet#253 respected — no automated licence action was executed; this is an owner ruling recorded by hand.
Closing this issue. If iseriser is ever genuinely intended to join the Rule 2 register, the mechanism is a one-line register addition by owner decision — not a badge edit.

Flag from the R-16 reconciliation (2026-08-28 ruling, filed 2026-08-31). No licence change made.
An unpublished local edit to README.md relabelled the licence badges/section from the ratified MPL-2.0 (code) / CC-BY-SA-4.0 (docs) split to "PMPL-1.0-or-later" + Palimpsest Covenant. Per ruling R-28b (iseriser singleton) the merge took origin's .adoc, which restores the ratified split — a merge resolution must not enact a licence change, and PMPL relabelling of MPL repos is a known contamination class (PMPL is ratified for exactly three repos).
If iseriser is genuinely intended to move to PMPL/Palimpsest, that is an explicit owner decision to make here — the discarded edit is preserved in the estate control tree at forensics/r16-class-conflict-reports/iseriser.diff. If not intended, close this issue.
