What changed and why

The Licensor and copyright holder of FerroCHART's own work is Cadasto B.V., which replaces Vernum Projecten B.V. (owner ruling of 2026-10-05). Every statement of the holder moves in this one PR: LICENSE (Licensor: and The Licensed Work is (c) 2026 …), NOTICE, and the SPDX-FileCopyrightText header of every project-owned file (405 files). The licence terms, Additional Use Grant, Change Date and Change License are unchanged; vendored material keeps its upstream terms (only our own PROVENANCE.md headers and the vendor scripts that write them move); maintainer credit stays a person.

CONTRIBUTING.md, GOVERNANCE.md, README.md and the site name "the Licensor named in LICENSE" rather than a company, so they follow without an edit. git grep Vernum now finds only the v0.1.1 changelog entry for #214, which is history. A new [Unreleased] entry records the change, and .claude/memory/license-busl.md records the holder history.

Closes #229

Licensing of contributions

  • I accept the terms in CONTRIBUTING.md § Licensing of contributions: I have the right to submit this work, I license it under the project licence of the version it lands in, and I grant the Licensor the relicensing right stated there.

Checklist

  • Spec-facing decisions cite the governing specification (the openEHR Reference Model, the Archetype Object Model and ADL, ITS-REST, or AQL), not memory and not another implementation.
  • Shell and workflow files are clean: shellcheck --severity=style, actionlint, zizmor --min-severity=low .github/.
  • Rust gates pass, once a workspace exists: cargo fmt --all --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings, cargo nextest run --workspace --locked, cargo test --doc --locked, cargo doc with RUSTDOCFLAGS=-D warnings, and cargo deny check.
  • CHANGELOG.md has an [Unreleased] entry, if the change is user-visible.
  • Docs are updated, if behaviour changed.
  • Every commit is signed.
  • No AI or assistant attribution anywhere in the commits or this PR.

Locally: cargo fmt --check and cargo nextest run --workspace --locked (736 passed) are green, as are the comment-style, changelog, contribution-licence, versions, site, book-toc, docs-shots, palette, crate-closure and serde-json-features guards. Clippy, doc and deny are left to CI; the change touches comment lines only.

Contributions carry the licensing terms in
CONTRIBUTING.md; the
contribution-licence-guard check reads the box above, and there is no separate
agreement to sign. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full
contribution guide.

The Licensor and copyright holder of FerroCHART's own work is Cadasto B.V.,
which replaces Vernum Projecten B.V. Every statement of the holder changes in
this one change, so no two of them disagree: the root LICENSE and NOTICE and
every SPDX-FileCopyrightText header on a project-owned file. The licence
itself does not change, vendored third-party material keeps its upstream
terms, and maintainer credit stays a person. The governance text names "the
Licensor named in LICENSE", so it follows without an edit.

Closes #229
