apply-fed-oss-license SKILL.md skillA
apply-fed-oss-license from andrewbrown-usda/aigb-skills-usda is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add andrewbrown-usda/aigb-skills-usda/apply-fed-oss-license@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

- a license file GitHub does not identify
Audit and update an arbitrary codebase to follow the Code.mil federal open-source licensing model (MIT with 17 U.S.C. Section 105 disclaimers and INTENT.md), including CRAN/R package DESCRIPTION setup.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Federal Open Source Licensing (Code.mil Model)
## Context & Objectives
Under 17 U.S.C. Section 105, copyright protection is unavailable for works created by United States Government officers or employees as part of their official duties. However:
1. International jurisdictions may recognize government copyright under the Berne Convention.
2. Third-party/community contributors retain copyright in their own contributions.
3. Users and government authors need liability disclaimers ("AS IS").
Following the [Code.mil](https://code.mil/) pattern, this workflow transitions repositories (e.g., from GPL or undefined licenses) to an **MIT License** paired with an **`INTENT.md`** statement and explicit federal public-domain notices.
---
## Workflow Steps
### Step 1: Contributor & Licensing Audit
1. Run a contributor audit to determine whether non-federal third-party code exists:
```bash
git log --format='%an <%ae>' | sort -u
```
2. Inspect legacy license files (`LICENSE`, `COPYING`, `LICENSE.txt`).
3. Identify whether any non-federal contributions exist in the active codebase:
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add andrewbrown-usda/aigb-skills-usda/apply-fed-oss-license@sha256:cfaab75336e00448The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
