+# Licence copyright and Akai disclaimer
+
+Branch: `license-and-disclaimer` → `main`
+
+## What changed
+
+- `LICENSE`: filled in the MIT placeholder, `Copyright (c) 2026 bajdev`.
+- `README.md`: added a Disclaimer section (mpckit is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by or supported by Akai Professional or inMusic; the trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to name the device) and a Licence section.
+- `docs/build-plan.md`: section 10 item 5 marks the licence as done; M9 now says the About modal and README carry the no-affiliation note.
+
+## Testing
+
+Docs only; no code changes. `go test ./...` still passes.
