-# [ownCloud](https://owncloud.org) Android app
+The ownCloud Android app enables users to access, sync, and share files stored on their ownCloud server directly from Android devices. Built with Kotlin, it supports ownCloud Infinite Scale (oCIS) and ownCloud 10 servers, featuring file browsing, photo galleries, Spaces, sharing, passcode lock, and biometric authentication. The app is available on:

-**Forum:** [#Android](https://central.owncloud.org/c/android)
+The [Kiteworks Open Source Program Office](https://kiteworks.com/opensource), operating under

+ecosystem around ownCloud's products. The OSPO ensures transparent governance, license compliance,
+community health, and sustainable collaboration between the open source community and
+[Kiteworks](https://www.kiteworks.com), which acquired ownCloud in 2023.

+### License Migration to Apache 2.0
-**Play Store**
+The OSPO is driving a strategic relicensing of ownCloud repositories toward the
+[Apache License 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), following
+the [Apache Software Foundation's third-party license policy](https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html).
-1. Download ownCloud app from Play Store.
-2. Go to ownCloud tab in Play Store and scroll down to the end of the view.
-3. Press the **I'M IN** button to join the beta program and your final app will be replaced with the beta one.
+Individual repositories will migrate as their audit is completed. The LICENSE file
+in each repo reflects its **current** license status (not the target).
-Note: If you want to use the ownCloud production version you have to leave the beta program, uninstall the app, and reinstall the production version.
+**Current license: GPL-2.0** (Category X per Apache policy -- cannot be included in Apache-2.0 works).
-**F-Droid**
+Migration prerequisites for this repository:
-1. Go to ownCloud tab in F-Droid.
-2. Open versions section.
-3. Download the latest version that contains beta in the name.
+- **CLA/DCO coverage**: All past contributors must have signed agreements permitting relicensing
+- **Copyleft dependency audit**: All GPL dependencies must be replaced or isolated
+- **KDE heritage review**: Any code with KDE-era copyrights requires legal analysis
+- **Complete relicensing**: GPL-2.0 is a strong copyleft license; migration requires full relicensing of all files

+# AI Agent Guidelines for Android
+
+This file provides context for AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) working in this repository.
+
+## Repository Overview
+- **Product family:** Mobile (Android)
+- **Primary language(s):** Kotlin
+- **Build system:** Gradle
+- **Test framework:** JUnit (Android Unit Tests, Instrumented Tests)
+- **CI system:** GitHub Actions
+
+## Architecture & Key Paths
+- `owncloudApp/` - Main Android application module
+- `owncloudDomain/` - Domain layer (business logic, use cases)
+- `owncloudData/` - Data layer (repositories, data sources)
+- `owncloudComLibrary/` - Common library module
+- `owncloudTestUtil/` - Test utilities
+- `build.gradle` - Root Gradle build file
+- `gradle/` - Gradle wrapper
+- `config/` - Build configuration
+- `fastlane/` - Fastlane deployment configuration
+- `doc/` - Developer documentation
+- `SETUP.md` - Development environment setup
+- `CONTRIBUTING.md` - Contribution guidelines
+- `CHANGELOG.md` - Release history
+
+## Development Conventions
+- **Branching:** master
+- **Commit messages:** DCO sign-off required (`git commit -s`)
+- **Code style:** Detekt (Kotlin linter), EditorConfig
+- **PR process:** Open a PR against master. All CI checks must pass.
+
+## Build & Test Commands
+```bash
+# Build
+./gradlew assembleDebug
+
+# Test (unit)
+./gradlew testDebugUnitTest
+
+# Test (instrumented)
+./gradlew connectedDebugAndroidTest
+
+# Lint
+./gradlew detekt
+```
+
+## Important Constraints
+- All code contributions must be compatible with the **GPL-2.0** license
+- Do not introduce new **copyleft-licensed dependencies** (GPL, AGPL, LGPL, MPL) without explicit discussion in an issue first. This is especially important for repos migrating to Apache 2.0.
+- Do not introduce new dependencies without discussion in an issue first
+- Minimum SDK version is 24 (Android 7.0), target SDK is 35
+- The app uses a clean architecture pattern with domain/data/presentation layers
+
+
+## OSPO Policy Constraints
+
+### GitHub Actions
+- **Only** use actions owned by `owncloud`, created by GitHub (`actions/*`), verified on the GitHub Marketplace, or verified by the ownCloud Maintainers.
+- Pin all actions to their full commit SHA (not tags): `uses: actions/checkout@ # vX.Y.Z`
+- Never introduce actions from unverified third parties.
+
+### Dependency Management
+- Dependabot is configured for automated dependency updates.
+- Review and merge Dependabot PRs as part of regular maintenance.
+- Do not introduce new dependencies without discussion in an issue first.
+
+### Git Workflow
+- **Rebase policy**: Always rebase; never create merge commits. Use `git pull --rebase` and `git rebase` before pushing.
+- **Signed commits**: All commits **must** be PGP/GPG signed (`git commit -S -s`).
+- **DCO sign-off**: Every commit needs a `Signed-off-by` line (`git commit -s`).
+- **Conventional Commits & Squash Merge**: Use the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format where the repository enforces it. Many repos use squash merge, where the PR title becomes the commit message on the default branch — apply Conventional Commits format to PR titles as well. A reusable GitHub Actions workflow enforces this.
+
+## Context for AI Agents
+- Match existing code style
+- Do not refactor unrelated code in the same PR
+- Write tests for new functionality
+- Keep PRs focused and atomic
+- Follow the existing multi-module architecture (app/domain/data separation)
+- Use Kotlin idioms consistent with the existing codebase
