licence: SchOS is GPL-2.0-or-later, no longer Apache-2.0
Nexoniarz is the sole author and SchOS was never published under Apache-2.0, so this is a straight relicence. LICENSE is the FSF GPLv2 text, every first-party SPDX header moves to GPL-2.0-or-later, and NOTICE, README.md, docs/licensing.md and the site say so. projects/schfs-linux follows the rest of the tree. The GPL gives copyleft: a fork has to ship its source. It also lifts the old "Linux drivers, never" rule, since GPL-2.0-only code combines with GPL-2.0-or-later. "Or later" leaves room for GPLv3, but one binary still has to pick one version, so docs/licensing.md now keeps Apache-2.0 and GPLv3 code out of the kernel to keep Linux code possible there. BSD 4-clause code goes from "avoid" to "no", because the advertising clause is GPL-incompatible. LDLS still ships no .ko. That boundary is now project policy rather than a legal requirement, and ldls.md, devices.md and licensing.md section 6 say so. refmod declares license=GPL, and ldls-check passes (27 checks).

worth noticing: the Wayland ecosystem is permissively licensed almost throughout,
