Puranjay Savar Mattas da890e88fd legal: push BSL change date out to 10 years (2036-08-20) 2026-08-20 00:31:27 +01:00
Puranjay Savar Mattas c04e4d542c legal: relicense from MIT to Business Source License 1.1 
Switches from a fully permissive license to BSL 1.1 (the same family
Outline's own server uses, for the same underlying reason): personal
use, self-hosting, and non-commercial forks stay explicitly allowed,
but shipping a competing hosted/distributed product off this code, or
distributing a fork under branding that claims official/affiliated
status, now requires a separate commercial agreement. Converts
automatically to Apache License 2.0 on the change date in LICENSE.

Adds an explicit trademark notice for the "Outpost" name/logo,
independent of the code license — the specific thing this was meant to
close off (a fork getting relabeled as an official/endorsed product).

README gets a plain-English summary of what changed; CONTRIBUTING gets
a one-line note that PRs are contributed under the same terms.
