A public repository with no licence file is all-rights-reserved by default: nobody may legally use, copy or redistribute it, whatever the README invites them to do. `GET /repos/.../license` returns 404 here, and Apache-2.0 for every sibling. The text is copied verbatim from ix-claude-plugin, which matches ix-cursor-plugin, ix-gemini-plugin, ix-openclaw-plugin and the ix-cli this plugin extends — so this records the licence the family already uses rather than choosing a new one. Worth an owner's confirmation before merge, since it is the first time this repo states one.

The problem
This repository is public and has no licence file, which means all rights reserved: nobody may legally use, copy, modify or redistribute it, whatever the README invites them to do.
The change
LICENSE, copied verbatim fromix-claude-plugin— the canonical Apache-2.0 text, 201 lines, byte-identical to the copy the four sibling plugins and theixCLI this extends already carry.That is deliberate: this records the licence the family already uses rather than choosing one. It is still the first time this repo states a licence, so it wants an owner's nod rather than mine — if the intent was ever something other than Apache-2.0 for this plugin, say so and I will swap it.
Nothing else changes. No source, no manifest, no workflow.
Note on the check I nearly got wrong
gh repo view --json licenseInforeportsnonefor every repo in this org, includingix-infrastructure/Ix, which is definitively Apache-2.0. Reading that field would have made this look like an org-wide problem affecting six repos. The REST/licenseendpoint is the one that answers correctly, and it says exactly two repos are missing a licence: this one and its sibling.
