* docs(license): name the license Multica License and restore the verbatim Apache 2.0 text (MUL-5558)
Co-authored-by: multica-agent <github@multica.ai>
* docs(license): define the combined license and fix the NOTICE 4(d) claim (MUL-5558)
Addresses the two must-fixes from review on #6206.
Must-fix 1 — the file held Multica conditions 1-2 followed by Apache
sections 1-9, and Apache section 1 defines "License" as sections 1-9 of
the document. So "a copy of this License" in section 4(a) and the inbound
terms in section 5 could both be read as reaching only the Apache half,
leaving downstream recipients and future contributors unsure which set of
terms actually binds them.
Split the file into `Part I — Additional Conditions` and `Part II —
Incorporated Apache License 2.0 Text` so the two "1 / 2" numberings no
longer collide, and add condition 3 as the operative bridge: both parts
together are the Multica License, "this License" in Part II means the
whole file (naming 4(a) and 5 explicitly), Part I controls on conflict,
and redistribution must deliver the complete file. Condition 2 becomes
"By submitting a contribution ... you agree" instead of the non-binding
"you should agree", gains 2c pinning contributions to the whole license,
and drops the stale "open-source agreement" wording. The same inbound
terms now also appear in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Must-fix 2 — NOTICE claimed section 4(d) requires reproducing its entire
contents. It does not: 4(d) covers the relevant attribution notices, and
a NOTICE cannot create obligations of its own. Replaced with a statement
that the file is informational and does not modify the license.
Conditions 1a-1d are untouched. The Apache 2.0 text is untouched and
still hashes to cfc7749b96f63bd31c3c42b5c471bf756814053e847c10f3eb003417bc523d30.

* docs(license): widen the branding condition to all UI code and add NOTICE (MUL-5558)
The branding condition in 1b defined Multica's "frontend" as `apps/web/`
only, which left the code that actually renders the console brand outside
its own scope: the sidebar, invite and new-workspace brand surfaces live in
`packages/views/`, and the Electron and iOS clients mount the whole console
from `@multica/views` without touching `apps/web/`. A rebranded desktop
build could therefore satisfy the condition literally while removing every
Multica mark.
Replace the directory-enumerated "frontend" with a derivation-based
"Multica user interface" covering `apps/web/`, `apps/desktop/`,
`apps/mobile/`, `packages/views/` and `packages/ui/` across source, the
Docker "web" image, and compiled desktop/mobile binaries. Keep the
non-interface exemption so backend-only use stays governed by 1a rather
than by branding, and add 1c so that path still carries attribution.
Add a NOTICE file to give the attribution obligation somewhere to land:
the repository had none, and no per-file copyright headers, so Apache 2.0
section 4(c)/(d) had nothing to reproduce.
Move the "commercial license must be obtained" sentence into 1a, since it
describes only that condition and 1b/1c are cured by written authorization
and attribution respectively, not by purchase.

* docs(license): separate the commercial license from the branding waiver (MUL-5558)
Conditions (a) and (b) were both cured by "explicitly authorized by
Multica in writing", so one authorization letter could be read as
releasing both — handing over commercial hosting rights when only a
rebranding permission was intended.
Name the two grants distinctly: (a) is cured only by a commercial license
obtained from the producer, (b) only by a written branding waiver. Add (d)
stating that neither implies the other and that neither can be inferred
from the producer's silence or from acceptance of contributions.
