Notes

MIT chosen over GPL despite BRouter, OsmAnd and Gadgetbridge all being GPL: PedalPebble talks to BRouter only across an AIDL boundary and links none of its code, so no copyleft obligation propagates. See docs/DECISIONS.md D15.

## Goal The repository is public with no licence, which means all rights reserved - nobody may reuse anything, including you in a later project.
