fix: align composer.json license with LICENSE (MPL-2.0)#443
Merged
Conversation
…age/support
The repository ships under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (see `LICENSE`)
but `composer.json` still declared `proprietary` — wrong for a published
open-source project and contradicts the bundled license file. Switching to
the SPDX identifier `MPL-2.0` aligns the package metadata with reality.
Also fills in two adjacent fields that downstream tooling (Composer,
Packagist, GitHub dependency graph, SBOM generators) expects on a public
project:
- `homepage` — points at the canonical repo
- `support.issues` / `support.source` — the GitHub issue tracker and
source URL, used by `composer support` and surfaced in dependency
listings
`authors` and `keywords` are intentionally left out — both want input on
who/what to list and were not the immediate gap.
Verified with `composer validate --strict` (green) and `composer normalize
--dry-run` (already normalised).

Summary
composer.jsonlicensetoMPL-2.0, matching theLICENSEfile shipped at the repo root. Was incorrectlyproprietary— wrong for a public open-source project and contradicting the bundled license terms.homepage(canonical repo URL) andsupport.issues/support.source(issue tracker + source URL). Used bycomposer support, GitHub's dependency graph, SBOM generators, and Packagist.Other meta — left to your call
These are also missing but I held off because they need input rather than a clear-cut fix. Worth a follow-up commit on this branch (or a separate PR) if you'd like:
authors— array of{ name, email }for credited contributors. ITK Dev / OS2Display org? Specific maintainers?keywords— searchable tags. Optional fortype: projectprojects; useful if this ever ends up on Packagist.description— currently "Api backend for OS2display". The repo now houses the full project (admin + client + templates perUPGRADE.md), so something like "OS2Display" or "OS2Display digital signage platform" would be more accurate. I left it alone to keep the PR scope minimal.Happy to push any of these once you decide.
