Robin Berjon’s ‘new document license’ commit to the DASL (Data-Addressed Structures & Links) specification repository removes the Apache License 2.0 text and adds a ‘DASL Document License’ that the file says takes effect on 1 October 2026. The replacement permits copying, modifying, and distributing the work for any purpose without fee or royalty, requires redistributors to keep the notice and identify changes, restricts promotional use of the copyright holders’ names and trademarks, and disclaims warranties and liability; a follow-up commit records that it is the W3C license with entity names changed and points copyright to the IPFS Foundation. DASL is a small set of primitives for content-addressed, linked data used by the AT Protocol ecosystem, and the change covers the specification repository rather than every implementation.
