docs: add Apache-2.0 NOTICE and align tool naming to Broadcast SSH#210
Merged
Conversation
Add a NOTICE file as recommended by Apache License 2.0 section 4(d). It records bssh's own copyright and attributes the two vendored upstream forks whose source we redistribute in-tree: russh (crates/bssh-russh, originally Thrussh by Pierre-Étienne Meunier, maintained by Eugeny Pankov) and russh-sftp (crates/bssh-russh-sftp, by AspectUnk), both Apache-2.0. Neither upstream ships a NOTICE file, so there is nothing to propagate; this attribution is for the vendored copies and the bssh-specific patches noted per crate. Extend the LICENSE copyright span to 2024-2026 to match active maintenance. Unify the auxiliary binaries with the v0.6.1 rebrand: bssh-server and bssh-keygen still surfaced "Backend.AI SSH" in their --help/version output while the main bssh CLI already said "Broadcast SSH". Switch both to "Broadcast SSH" so all tools are consistent. ARCHITECTURE.md keeps both names as "Broadcast SSH / Backend.AI SSH" to preserve the Backend.AI lineage in the design doc.
