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

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.
