The spec said Moonshine's non-English models are under the Moonshine Community License, and concluded that a German Moonshine cartridge needs a separate license. That scope was too broad, and v0.4 (#7) repeated it in blueprints.adoc and SKEEP-007.

Source: the publisher's README — https://github.com/moonshine-ai/moonshine#license — "The models are MIT by default too, in every language and at every size — the only exceptions are the legacy non-streaming models for languages other than English, which stay under the non-commercial Moonshine Community License". The German streaming checkpoint's model card (moonshine-ai/moonshine-streaming-tiny-de) says license: mit, ungated.

Changes: licensing table + OQ10 + roadmap + the ORT example descriptor's model.upstream.license text corrected; blueprints.adoc and SKEEP-007 corrected, and the blueprint chapter now states the rule behind the mistake — a license is a fact about a pinned checkpoint, stated by its publisher, never inferred from the model family; ADR-004 keeps its text and gets a dated correction note (its decision is unaffected — the case still exists, for fewer models). Tutorial clones SKaiNET-developers/SKaiNET-cartridge-blueprints (the real repository name).

Verified: example descriptors validate; Antora builds with no warnings.

Per the publisher README (moonshine-ai/moonshine, License), Moonshine models are MIT in every
language and size; only the legacy non-streaming models for languages other than English stay
under the non-commercial Moonshine Community License. The spec applied that license to all
non-English models -- so it wrongly said a German streaming cartridge needs a separate license
(moonshine-ai/moonshine-streaming-tiny-de is MIT). Corrected in the licensing table, OQ10, the
roadmap, the example descriptor, blueprints.adoc and SKEEP-007; ADR-004 gets a dated correction
note, its decision is unaffected. blueprints.adoc now states the rule behind the mistake: a
license is a fact about a pinned checkpoint, stated by its publisher, never inferred from the
model family. Tutorial clones the real repository name.
