Pull request overview
This PR updates the repository’s public-facing documentation to clearly position People Partner as both a shipped commercial macOS product (peoplepartner.io) and an open-source reference implementation for HR builders, and it changes the repository license to MIT to match that open-source posture.
Changes:
- Expanded
README.mdto distinguish “product vs. source code,” add user/builder onboarding instructions, and refine privacy/audit language to avoid overclaiming. - Added builder-oriented setup commands and a small “useful commands” table for local development.
- Replaced the prior proprietary LICENSE text with the standard MIT License text.
