Summary

Mentorship programme participants were confused about whether NHCarrigan's style guide (including copyright headers and Naomi's Public Licence) applied to their own flagship projects. This PR adds clear clarifications in the relevant docs:

  • dev/style.md: Tightened scope language to "NHCarrigan-maintained repositories" and added an explicit note for mentorship participants that the style guide (including Section 2.1 copyright/licensing) does not apply to their flagship projects
  • mentorship/07-writing-code.md: Updated the scope note to remove Style Guide and Contributor Covenant requirements; replaced with a clear statement that participants must follow the Community Code of Conduct and Community Guidelines, and must not use their repository for illegal, harmful, discriminatory, or bigoted content; added Section 7.3 explicitly stating that NHCarrigan makes no IP claim over flagship projects and participants are free to choose their own licence and style standards
