# Licensing

Default for this repository: **MIT**, `Copyright (c) 2026 AERE Network`. See `LICENSE`.

This repository is documentation. No file in it carries an `SPDX-License-Identifier` header, so the
default covers everything, with one recorded exception.

## Improvement proposals — CC0

Two documents end with:

> Released to the public domain (CC0). No rights reserved.

| File |
| --- |
| `AERE-AIP-PROCESS-AND-INDEX.md` |
| `AIP-PQ-TX-2026-07-18.md` |

That dedication stands. It follows the convention Ethereum uses for EIPs. CC0 is a wider grant than
MIT, so it takes nothing away from a reader of `LICENSE`; it is recorded here so that a reader who
sees only `LICENSE` knows these two documents are freer than the rest.
