Titan builds on Falco (falco-anvil, falco-light), OneLiteFeather's own Anvil chunk loader and light engine, which is AGPL-3.0 with no linking exception. A Minecraft server is a network service, so AGPL section 13 applies to anyone running a modified Titan. Replaces the licence text, the Spotless header template applied to all 97 tracked Java sources, and the POM licence blocks of the three published modules (app, setup, bridge). gradlew and gradlew.bat keep their own Apache header - that is Gradle's code, not ours. NOTE: Titan has contributors besides the maintainer (theEvilReaper, Joltras, Yannick Lamprecht, OLF org accounts). Relicensing changes the terms their contributions are distributed under, so their written consent should be recorded before this ships.
docs: add project standard, event research and lobby season spec Three documents that the upcoming lobby work builds on: - olf-minestom-project-standard.md: 23 architecture rules derived from ManisGame, Cygnus, Tamias and the theEvilReaper libraries, each with a rationale and an enforcement mechanism. Falco's falco-archunit module already enforces six of them and is the reference implementation. - event-modi-plan.md: research on seasonal events. Key finding, measured from Steam telemetry: cosmetic seasonal events move concurrent players by roughly zero (Deep Rock Galactic October: -0.37%, -12.16%, -4.92%) while content releases move them 20-150% and lift the floor for months. Decoration is brand upkeep, not a growth lever - so its cost must stay small. - spec-lobby-saison-events.md: the requirements themselves. 49 user stories across 7 stages, 13 non-functional requirements, EARS acceptance criteria and MoSCoW priorities, following the OLF requirement-engineering standard. - rollout-log.md: the record NFR-011 asks for, tracking which feature sat at which release stage.

Why
Titan is moving onto Falco — our own Anvil chunk loader and light engine — as Stage 1 of the lobby season work. Falco is AGPL-3.0 with no linking exception, and a Minecraft server is a network service, so AGPL section 13 applies.
What changed
LICENSE— Apache-2.0 → AGPL-3.0header.java— Spotless header template, applied to all 97 tracked Java sourcesapp,setup,bridge)README.md— licence section, with a note on what section 13 means for operators.gitignore— local agent/tooling artefactsgradlewandgradlew.batkeep their Apache header — that is Gradle's code, not ours.Blocking question: contributor consent
This is why the PR is a draft. Titan has authors besides the maintainer:
Relicensing changes the terms their contributions are distributed under. Their written consent should be recorded before this merges — most likely a formality among OLF members, but one that belongs in writing.
Verification
./gradlew :common:spotlessCheck :api:spotlessCheckpasses. No Apache header remains on any tracked file except Gradle's own wrapper scripts.Stack
Base of the lobby season stack. The docs PR sits on top of this one, and the three Stage branches on top of that.
