Summary

  • license all first-party GraphForge v0.5 repository code and packages under Apache-2.0
  • remove BUSL-1.1 policy files, additional-use terms, and the custom CLA requirement
  • preserve the MIT terms of v0.4.0 and earlier artifacts and retain third-party attribution
  • document separately distributed commercial extensions without narrowing the OSS core grant
  • replace the old transition policy with deterministic Apache metadata, package, and notice checks

Validation

  • make pre-push-fast
  • Rust coverage: 86.56% lines; 3,897/3,897 openCypher scenarios passed
  • Python coverage: 79 passed; 100% wrapper coverage
  • Node coverage: 214 passed; 100% line coverage
  • make cargo-deny-licenses
  • make package-license-verify
  • make third-party-notices-check
  • focused license/release tests: 15 passed
  • stale BUSL/CLA/source-available scan: empty

No runtime behavior changes.

Fixes #218

Note

Release GraphForge under Apache-2.0 license

  • Replaces the Business Source License 1.1 (BUSL-1.1) with Apache License 2.0 across all packages, manifests, LICENSE files, NOTICE files, and documentation throughout the repository.
  • Removes CLA requirements from CONTRIBUTING.md and the PR template; contributions are now accepted under Apache-2.0 Section 5 terms.
  • Replaces scripts/license_policy.py with a new scripts/license_check.py that validates Apache-2.0 compliance (LICENSE/NOTICE copies, manifest metadata, forbidden BUSL claims) and produces a structured JSON report.
  • Updates CI workflows and make license-check to invoke license_check.py instead of the old license_policy.py check subcommand.
  • Deletes BUSL-oriented unit tests and adds new tests in tests/unit/test_license_check.py that assert the repository tree passes Apache-2.0 compliance validation.

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 37 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
