+# Step 2: license-checkpoint
+
+## Read First
+- /AGENTS.md
+- /PLAN.md
+- /PROGRESS.md
+- /docs/HARNESS.md
+- /docs/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
+- /docs/ADR.md
+- /docs/TOOLCHAIN.md
+
+## Task
+Add a licensing checkpoint document or section for current personal use and future redistribution/commercial review.
+
+This is not legal advice. It should identify Marker GPL/model-weight concerns and when to revisit them.
+
+## Sprint Contract
+- Done means: docs clearly state current personal-use context and future review triggers.
+- Hard thresholds: docs do not claim legal conclusions; process/API isolation is described only as a risk mitigation candidate; model weights are not redistributed.
+- Files owned: `docs/TOOLCHAIN.md`, `docs/ADR.md`, optional `README.md`, `PROGRESS.md`, phase index.
+- Dependencies: Release docs context.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+```powershell
+python scripts\validate_workspace.py
+```
+
+## Verification
+1. Run the acceptance command.
+2. Confirm license notes are cautious and consistent.
+3. Update `PROGRESS.md` and this phase index.
+
+## Do Not
+- Do not provide legal advice.
+- Do not mark the project commercially safe without review.
+- Do not vendor model weights.
