+# Copyright Header
+
+Every Java file — including `module-info.java` — starts with the SPDX-tagged copyright header as the very first thing in the file (before the `package` or `module` declaration). No blank line above it.
+
+## The header
+
+```java
+/*
+ * Copyright (c) <year> Latte Java
+ * SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+ */
+```
+
+That is the only accepted form in this project. Do not invent variants — no prose paraphrases, no "see LICENSE for details" line, no `All Rights Reserved`, no Javadoc-style `/** */`.
+
+## Why this exact form
+
+- **SPDX is the modern, machine-readable standard.** The `SPDX-License-Identifier:` tag is defined by the SPDX spec and is the form authoritative compliance tooling (FOSSA, REUSE, `licensee`, GitHub's license detector) parses directly. No prose is needed alongside it.
+- **No `All Rights Reserved`.** The phrase contradicts the MIT grant (which gives everyone broad rights), creates legal ambiguity, and is a vestige of pre-1989 copyright treaty law that's no longer required. Microsoft removed it from VS Code's headers in 2019; the OpenStack Legal FAQ, Liferay, and Šuklje's widely-cited "How and why to properly write copyright statements in your code" all recommend against it. The canonical MIT license text on opensource.org omits it.
+- **Block comment, not Javadoc.** `/* */` keeps legal boilerplate out of generated API docs. `/** */` is for API documentation only.
+
+The MIT license itself does not mandate any per-file header — the only hard requirement is reproducing the full license text "in all copies or substantial portions of the Software," satisfied by `LICENSE` at the repo root. The SPDX header is an unambiguous convention layered on top.
+
+## Copyright line format
+
+```
+Copyright (c) <year> Latte Java
+```
+
+- `(c)` lowercase in parens. Don't use `©` — keep it ASCII.
+- No comma between year and holder. (The canonical MIT text has no comma.)
+- Holder is always exactly `Latte Java`.
+
+## Year handling
+
+- New file: single year — `Copyright (c) 2026 Latte Java`.
+- File modified in a later year than it was created: extend to a range — `Copyright (c) 2025-2026 Latte Java`. Bump the upper bound on substantive changes, not whitespace edits. Don't list years individually.
+
+## Placement
+
+```java
+/*
+ * Copyright (c) 2026 Latte Java
+ * SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+ */
+package org.lattejava.json;
+
+import module java.base;
+
+/**
+ * Class-level Javadoc — separate block, not part of the file header.
+ *
+ * @author ...
+ */
+public class Example {
+}
+```
+
+The file header is not the class Javadoc. They are distinct blocks separated by the `package` declaration and imports. `module-info.java` follows the same pattern — file header at the top, then the `module` declaration.
+
+## Upstream files
+
+Some files in this project are from upstream projects such as `FusionAuth/java-http`. These files *MUST* retain the Copyright Header that explicitly states they are Apache 2.0 licensed and from FusionAuth or Inversoft.
