As part of MCP joining the Linux Foundation, this PR updates the project licensing to align with LF project standards.

Changes:

  • LICENSE: Updated to Apache 2.0 for new contributions, with existing MIT contributions grandfathered (per Linzy's suggested language)
  • CONTRIBUTING.md: Updated license section to reflect Apache 2.0 / CC-BY 4.0
  • ANTITRUST.md: Added link to LF Projects Antitrust Policy

This is part of the work discussed in the MCP Working Group thread. Once this PR is approved, the same changes will be applied to all other MCP repos.

@domdomegg domdomegg force-pushed the chore/apache-2.0-license branch 3 times, most recently from e0f8a66 to 0bb739f Compare December 19, 2025 17:19
- Add legal transition language to LICENSE header
- Update to Apache-2.0 for new code/specs, CC-BY-4.0 for docs
- Existing MIT contributions remain under MIT
- Update copyright to LF Projects, LLC
- Simplify ANTITRUST.md to link to LF policy
