Pull request overview
Updates the repository’s README messaging to position OVERWATCH as a publicly visible reference implementation inspired by Anduril’s Connected Warfare / Lattice concepts, with clearer scope/disclaimer language and expanded trademark attribution.
Changes:
- Adds a new “Inspiration & scope” section with an inspiration disclaimer and a comparison table.

Summary
Reposition the README so it's clear this project is a publicly-available reference implementation of the multi-sensor situational-awareness concept popularised by Anduril's Connected Warfare / Lattice OS — running on a $500 Jetson Orin Nano with off-the-shelf cameras and open code.
What changed
Why the careful trademark wording
Anduril, Lattice, Connected Warfare, and EagleEye are trademarks of Anduril Industries. The README now uses them only as referential / nominative descriptions ("inspired by," "EagleEye-style HUD"), avoids any logos or assets, and adds a clear "not affiliated, not endorsed, not sponsored" disclaimer. This is the standard editorial pattern for "homage" projects and keeps the framing safe.
Heads-up: license still says proprietary
The
LICENSEfile is unchanged in this PR. If you want OVERWATCH to be genuinely open source (not just source-available), the LICENSE needs to swap to MIT / Apache-2.0 / GPL — say the word and I'll do that as a follow-up PR.Test plan
#-features,#-quick-start, etc.) still resolve
