Update README.md, CONTRIBUTING_NEW_EXTENSION.md, and the new extension issue template to reflect the outcomes of a review with the CNCF legal team: - Replace the "case-by-case" licence language with an explicit Allowlist-only policy; only components covered by the CNCF Allowlist Licence Policy are accepted for distribution through this project - Clarify that this is a governance decision, not a legal limitation, and that contributors may distribute non-Allowlisted extensions independently using the same build tooling - Tighten the Debian packages requirement: DFSG-compliant packages from a trusted, auditable repository are mandatory; PGDG is the recommended source but not the only acceptable one; explain the rationale (DEP-5 attribution, DFSG hygiene) - Add a note against PostGIS acknowledging its GPL-2.0 licence and the pending CNCF exception request - Add a required Debian package name field and an SPDX licence dropdown to the new extension issue template; tighten the licence compliance attestation to cover all components including transitive dependencies Closes #213 Signed-off-by: Gabriele Bartolini <gabriele.bartolini@enterprisedb.com>
