What & why

Following the promotion philosophy used to require declaring a variance: LICENSE ships only at +Public, so a promotion-planned private repo had to declare an exception just to carry its licence from commit #1. The interview now asks private repos "is a public release already planned?" — yes stamps LICENSE at Core from the existing Public-tier template, plus a minimal NOTICE when third-party licensed material is expected while still private (attribution is owed from the moment the material arrives). Recorded in ADR-0001, no variance row: the standard's Promotion path states the early licence IS the promotion path. Default stays no — forever-private repos keep zero ceremony. Decided in ADR-0011.

The promotion path wants nothing to scrub at flip time, yet following it
used to require declaring a variance to stamp LICENSE before going
public. The interview now asks private repos "is a public release
already planned?" - yes stamps LICENSE at Core from the existing
Public-tier template, plus a minimal NOTICE when third-party licensed
material is expected while still private (attribution is owed from the
moment the material arrives). Recorded in ADR-0001, no variance row:
the standard's Promotion path section states the early licence IS the
promotion path. Default stays no. Decided in ADR-0011.
