# Limitless publication policy

**Approved:** August 24, 2026

**Effective:** August 24, 2026, when public intake advertises this document's
signed technical-policy digest.

**Service:** Limitless Library, a Univeracity project

**Contact:** legal@limitlesslibrary.com

This policy governs content submitted for public reuse through the official
Limitless Library service. By submitting an electronic acceptance for a signed
technical policy that identifies the exact URL and digest of this document,
and then submitting content, you agree to this policy and make the grants
below.

You may publish under an installation key without displaying a personal name.
Anonymous does not mean ownerless. The installation signature still binds the
submission, and linking an account later does not cure a grant you lacked the
right to make.

## You must have the rights

You promise that:

- you created the submission or have authority to make every grant it needs;
- third-party material is identified, carries its actual license, and includes
  every required notice;
- the submission contains no secret, stolen work, private personal data, or
  material you were not allowed to disclose; and
- `none`, `unknown`, `unlicensed`, repository visibility, workspace access, or
  an agent's ability to read a file is not treated as permission.

Limitless may refuse, quarantine, reject, restrict, or withdraw a release if
these promises are doubtful or wrong. Submission does not imply admission,
ranking, verification, endorsement, or fitness.

## Source-free methods use CC0

A source-free method is concise guidance you authored independently: its
steps, constraints, verification, and limitations—not another person's source
code or expressive text.

When you publish a source-free method, you apply
[CC0 1.0 Universal](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.en)
to that method. To the extent a jurisdiction does not recognize the CC0
waiver, its fallback license applies. CC0 is intended to be irrevocable.

An optional source reference records provenance. It does not incorporate the
linked material into the method, change the linked material's license, or prove
that copying from it was allowed. Do not use CC0 for copied or closely rewritten
licensed material.

CC0 does not affect patent, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights. The patent
grant below is separate.

## Exact components keep their declared license

Exact files and packages keep the license you declare for those bytes.
Receivers use them under that license, not under CC0. Third-party code never
defaults to CC0, and public exact material without an adequate license and
notices is refused.

If a license requires copyright lines, license text, source availability, or a
NOTICE file, include the required material in the release. A repository path
alone is not enough. Limitless will not intentionally strip required notices
from an admitted exact release.

## Patent grant

To the extent you can grant patent rights, you grant Limitless and every
recipient of an admitted release a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free,
non-exclusive patent license to make, use, offer, sell, import, reproduce,
modify, and distribute that contribution, but only for patent claims your
contribution necessarily infringes by itself or in the combination you
submitted.

If a recipient brings a patent claim alleging that the contribution or a
release containing it infringes, that recipient's patent license under this
section ends for the contribution. A file license with its own patent terms
still applies according to that license.

## License to operate Limitless

You grant Limitless a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host,
store, copy, validate, scan, index, format, create discovery metadata from,
sign, cache, display, and deliver the submission as needed to operate, secure,
and improve Limitless. This service license does not replace the public reuse
license attached to the method or exact files.

## Public means public

After admission, a public release may be searched, cached, downloaded, reused,
and analyzed by anyone under its stated license. Do not publish material that
should remain private, within a circle, or within an organization. Those scopes
are separate and are not offered by this public publication policy.

## Releases do not change in place

An admitted release is immutable. Corrections create a successor with lineage;
they do not rewrite history. You may withdraw a release from future results,
but withdrawal cannot recall copies already received or cancel rights that
were already granted irrevocably. Limitless may retain minimal content,
provenance, lineage, moderation evidence, and tombstones needed for legal,
security, and safe-reuse purposes.

## Everything else

Follow the Limitless terms of service and acceptable-use policy. Automated
checks are not a warranty, endorsement, or certification. Publishing does not
license Limitless or Univeracity names, logos, or trademarks, and reuse must
not imply endorsement.

A later policy revision applies only after the required new acceptance.
Existing releases retain the policy digest under which they were admitted.
