Site Policy

Effective Date : August 2, 2025

CodesenSys curates, adapts, and contributes code, articles, and tutorials drawn from the open-source ecosystem. Our Site Content & Open-Source Policy clarifies how we honor original licenses, credit community authors, and manage inbound/outbound contributions.

CodesenSys Site Content & Open-Source Policy — Key Points

1 License Compliance

  • We only publish or embed material released under permissive or copyleft licenses (e.g., MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL, CC-BY) that permit redistribution.
  • All original license headers and copyright notices remain intact.
  • For copyleft code (GPL / AGPL), we provide a link to the full source and build scripts as required.

2 Attribution & Credit

  • Every reused snippet, diagram, or article includes visible attribution to the original author, repository, or project website.
  • Where a license mandates NOTICE files or author lists, these are reproduced verbatim in our repo or downloads.

3 Modifications & Forks

  • Changes made by CodesenSys are documented in a CHANGELOG or clearly commented inline.
  • We state that derivative works are “unofficial forks” and provide a link to the upstream project.

4 Contribution Back (“Upstream-First”)

  • Bug fixes and enhancements originated by our team are offered upstream via pull request whenever feasible.
  • Contributors must sign a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) or project-specific CLA before code is merged.

5 Inbound Community Contributions

  • External pull requests to CodesenSys repositories must honor any project-level license and coding guidelines.
  • Contain only original work or code that the contributor is legally entitled to submit.
  • Not include sensitive or proprietary data.

6 Content Removal & DMCA

  • Authors who believe their work is mis-attributed or improperly licensed may email oss@codesensys.com.
  • Valid takedown requests are acknowledged within 24 h and actioned within 72 h.

7 Security Disclosures

  • Vulnerabilities in third-party libraries used by CodesenSys should be reported to security@codesensys.com under coordinated disclosure practices.
  • Patches are prioritized; affected projects are updated and re-published with new hashes or version tags.

8 No Warranty

  • Open-source code samples and tutorials are provided “as-is” without warranties. Users are responsible for validation and compliance with their own licensing obligations.

9 Policy Updates

  • Revisions appear in the repository root as OPEN_SOURCE_POLICY.md with a new commit hash and date.
  • Continued use of our content after an update signifies acceptance of the revised terms.
