-## Premium tools
+## Licence — no paywall
 
-These tools need a license key:
-
-* `article`
-* `browse_categories`
-
-Buy a key at https://mcp-marketplace.io/server/io-github-mrfentmen-wikinews-mcp and set it in your MCP client config:
-
-```json
-"env": { "MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "mcp_live_..." }
-```
-
-The key is checked against MCP Marketplace, cached for 24 hours, and keeps
-working offline once one check has succeeded. Every other tool on this server
-stays free.
-<!-- /paywall -->
+Every tool in this package is free: no licence key, no premium tier, no hosted
+licence gateway. The paywall machinery this repo once carried (per-tool licence
+checks and paid hosted endpoints) was removed repo-wide on 2026-10-17. Nothing
+that this package installs or calls asks you to pay.
