The badge linked to LICENSE at the root and no such file existed. The only licence statement anywhere was the SPDX string in the manifests, which tells a tool which licence applies but not a human the terms or who holds the copyright -- and distribution channels and corporate review processes look for the file. Each published crate carries a symlink to it, the same shape CLAUDE.md already uses. Cargo resolves the link when packaging, so the .crate ships the text rather than a dangling link: verified by unpacking rustmotion-core-0.7.1.crate. The holder was the one thing the repository did not contain and could not be guessed; it is the name every commit is signed with.

tool which licence applies, but not a human the terms or who holds the
copyright. Distribution channels and corporate review processes look for the file.
The holder
Copyright (c) 2026 Baptiste Parmantier— the one thing the repository did notcontain and could not be guessed, so it was asked rather than inferred. It is the
name every commit is signed with.
Reaching the published crates
Each of the four published crates carries a symlink to the root file, the same
shape
CLAUDE.mdalready uses here. Cargo resolves the link when packaging, sothe
.crateships the text and not a dangling link — verified by unpacking:Test
the_license_badge_points_at_a_file_that_exists_and_names_a_holder, next to theother README/manifest invariants in
audit_ws_k.rs: the file exists, is the MITtext, names a holder, and each published crate's copy resolves to the same content.
