GitHub's licence detection only matches the American spelling, so the repository currently reports "Other" / NOASSERTION despite carrying a standard Business Source License 1.1. Renaming the file makes the licence show in the repo sidebar, the API, and downstream tooling that reads it. No change to the licence text or terms.

Renames
LICENCE→LICENSE. No change to the licence text or terms.Why
GitHub's licence detection only matches the American spelling. With the British spelling the repository reports:
despite carrying a standard Business Source License 1.1 (Change Date 2029-01-01, Change License GPL-2.0-or-later), with
// SPDX-License-Identifier: BUSL-1.1on 102 of the 105 files undersrc/.After the rename, GitHub will show BUSL-1.1 in the repo sidebar and return it from the API. That matters for integrators and aggregators that read the API field to determine whether a protocol is source-available — DefiLlama and most security tooling do — and for anyone evaluating whether they can fork or build on Grunt.
How to verify
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/3FLabs/grunt | jq .licenseCurrently returns
NOASSERTION; after merge it should return the BUSL-1.1 entry.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
