Follow-up to #161. That PR normalised every SPDX identifier and license declaration, but a licence is also what the prose tells a reader — and five passages in subtrees still said something different:

  • frontier-practices/README.adoc"licensed under the Palimpsest-MPL License v3.0 (PMPL-1.0)", plus a badge whose alt-text read PMPL-1.0 while the image itself said MPL-2.0
  • frontier-practices/tabletop/README.adoc"Licensed under MIT + Palimpsest v0.8"
  • playground/hives/me/CONTRIBUTING.md — told contributors their work would be licensed under the MIT License, which is the passage most likely to actually mislead someone
  • playground/PALIMPSEST.adoc — asserted PMPL-1.0, mirroring the root file already converted in docs: truth pass across human, machine, and wiki documentation + DEBT register #159; given the same historical-note treatment

All now state MPL-2.0 for code and CC-BY-SA-4.0 for documentation.

Verified: no .md/.adoc asserts a non-MPL/CC licence · the tree contains exactly two SPDX identifiers (426 MPL-2.0 / 206 CC-BY-SA-4.0) · hooks/validate-spdx.sh passes.

The tree-wide normalisation (#161) fixed every SPDX identifier and
licence declaration, but five prose passages in subtrees still told a
reader the code was under different terms:

- frontier-practices/README.adoc: 'licensed under the Palimpsest-MPL
  License v3.0 (PMPL-1.0)', plus a badge whose alt-text read PMPL-1.0
  while its image said MPL-2.0
- frontier-practices/tabletop/README.adoc: 'Licensed under MIT +
  Palimpsest v0.8'
- playground/hives/me/CONTRIBUTING.md: told contributors their work
  would be licensed under the MIT License
- playground/PALIMPSEST.adoc: asserted PMPL-1.0, mirroring the root file
  already converted in #159 — same treatment, now a historical note

All now state MPL-2.0 for code and CC-BY-SA-4.0 for documentation.

Verified: no .md/.adoc asserts a non-MPL/CC licence; the tree contains
exactly two SPDX identifiers; hooks/validate-spdx.sh passes.
