From 33c70e2e6cb9bdc215091d428919ef22afa38680 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jordanrburger Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 17:22:42 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Add MIT LICENSE and a License & legal README section The repo had no license (= all rights reserved by default). MIT matches scout-plugin (Copyright (c) 2026 Raven Scout). README now links the project's Privacy Policy, Terms, Security Policy, and Code of Conduct, and spells out the privacy-relevant behavior: captured notifications stay on-device and go only to your own paired Mac over the local network; no SMS/health access; FCM dormant by default.
