-1. **License.** The uSEQ tree carries `license/cern_ohl_s_v2.txt` (a hardware
-   license, wrong fit for C++ sources). No software license has been chosen for
-   this extracted engine; nothing here is licensed for redistribution yet.
+1. **License resolved 2026-08-17:** MPL-2.0, adopted from the pre-existing
+   Forgejo `w1n5t0n/modulisp` placeholder repo (Dimi, 2025-03). The uSEQ tree

 2. **Test exclusions.** `test_flash_storage.cpp`, `test_wasm_wrapper_projection.cpp`,
    and `test_osc_sine_nodedef.cpp` stay behind in uSEQ because they link the
    firmware, wasm, and nodedef modules respectively (details in README.md). If
