Decide: PMPL-1.0 vs MPL-2.0 SPDX in scorecard.yml / secret-scanner.yml #54

Description

@hyperpolymath

What

Two workflow files declare a non-standard licence:

  • .github/workflows/scorecard.ymlSPDX-License-Identifier: PMPL-1.0
  • .github/workflows/secret-scanner.ymlSPDX-License-Identifier: PMPL-1.0

The repo's canonical licence is MPL-2.0. However, rhodibot.yml carries comments hinting that PMPL in dotfiles/workflows may be deliberate policy — so this is a maintainer decision, not an obvious typo.

Decision needed

Either:

  1. MPL-2.0 everywhere — correct these two headers (and audit for other stray PMPL); or
  2. PMPL-1.0 is intentional for select infra/dotfiles — document the policy explicitly (e.g. in the licence/governance docs) so it stops reading as an inconsistency, and add a licence-consistency-check exemption.

Left untouched in PR #50 per the "no workflow YAML" guardrail and because it's a policy call.

Found during the 2026-06-14 deep-checkpoint. Not covered by existing issues.
