## License

[GNU General Public License v3.0 or later](LICENSE)
GPL-3.0-or-later. All of it. See [`LICENSE`](LICENSE).

The proxy, the admin API, the policy engine, the audit pipeline, the `arbiter-ctl` CLI — every crate in this workspace is GPL-3-or-later. If you embed Arbiter in a larger system, link against its crates, ship a product that depends on it, or fork it into something else, you ship under GPL-3 too. That's the trade.

Releases `v0.0.11` and earlier were published under [Apache License 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0). Starting with `v0.1.0`, the project is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later. Prior releases retain their original Apache-2.0 terms; the license change applies to the `v0.1.0` codebase and all subsequent work. Inbound contributions are accepted under the project's outbound license (GPL-3.0-or-later).

Workspace-level declaration: the root `Cargo.toml` carries `license = "GPL-3.0-or-later"`, inherited by every crate via `license.workspace = true`.
