There is not "Hiero testnet" or "Hiero mainnet". +- Whenever "testnet" or "mainnet" is used we need to change it to "Hedera testnet" or "Hedera mainnet". For a Hedera specific project is it clear what "mainnet" or "testnet" is but in the Hiero context that could be anything. Here we need to make clear that we refer to the Hedera networks. +- If a project / repository is mentioned that has already been transfered to Hiero we should change the name and link to Hiero. As en example "hedera-sdk-go" will become "hiero-sdk-go" and "https://github.com/hashgraph/hedera-sdk-go" will become "https://github.com/hiero-ledger/hiero-sdk-go". +- If a project / repository has not been migrated to Hiero the name and link should not be changed. Here it would make sense to create an issue per repository and label it by "Hiero Transfer" for collecting such names for a later refactoring. + +### New license headers + +When a repository is transfered we need to change the license headers of all (code) files in the repository. The new license header format has been discussed [here](https://github.com/hiero-ledger/tsc/issues/64). The new header looks like this: `// SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0`.
