GitHub's licence detector matches on exact licence text. The previous LICENSE was a 631-byte summary, so GitHub reported NOASSERTION and Zenodo fell back to its own default of CC-BY-4.0 -- a content licence, not a software licence -- on the v2026.07.0 record (10.5281/zenodo.21723749). Replace it with the full verbatim Apache-2.0 text already used by healpix-resample, healpix-analyse and healpix-geo, all three of which GitHub detects correctly. The copyright holder line is unchanged.

Problem
LICENSEwas a 631-byte summary of Apache-2.0 rather than the licence text itself. GitHub's detector matches on exact text, so it reports:Zenodo takes the licence from GitHub's detected licence, and when that is
NOASSERTIONit falls back to its own default, CC-BY-4.0. So the published record for v2026.07.0 (10.5281/zenodo.21723749) currently states a content licence for software.The three sibling repos ship the full verbatim text and are detected correctly:
Change
Replaces
LICENSEwith the same verbatim Apache-2.0 file used by the other three repos. The copyright holder line is unchanged — it still readsCopyright 2026, Plotting healpix data with matplotlib and cartopy developers. Apart from that line the file is byte-identical to the sibling repos'LICENSE.No code, packaging or metadata changes;
pyproject.tomlalready declareslicense = { text = "Apache-2.0" }.Follow-up not covered here
This fixes detection for future releases. The existing Zenodo record still says CC-BY-4.0 and needs a manual metadata edit in the Zenodo UI (editing metadata does not change the DOI).
