Licensing

Which licence applies to which page, and why it depends on where the page was written.

Pages authored in this repository are CC BY-SA 4.0 . Pages imported from a component repository are covered by that repository’s licence, not this one. Every imported page names its licence in the banner at the top.

Why there are two answers

This site is not the origin of everything it publishes. Some pages are written here; others are the component repositories’ own docs/ directories, pulled in as git submodules and rendered unchanged. Re-licensing someone else’s documentation by the act of displaying it would be both wrong and impossible — the licence travels with the work, not with the renderer.

So the rule is simply: a page keeps the licence of the repository it was written in.

What applies where

Content	Licence	Where it lives
Documentation authored in `agstack/docs`	CC BY-SA 4.0	`LICENSE`
The site itself — layouts, shortcodes, SCSS, config, Docker and CI	Apache-2.0	`LICENSE-CODE`
Imported documentation	whatever its source repository says	that repository’s own `LICENSE`
The AgStack name, logo and wordmark	trademarks of the Linux Foundation	not covered by either licence above

Two licences for one repository is deliberate: CC BY-SA is written for prose and is a poor fit for build tooling, while Apache-2.0 is written for code and says nothing useful about documents. Splitting them keeps each doing the job it was drafted for.

Currently imported

Section	Source repository	Licence
PANCAKE	`agstack/pancake`	EUPL-1.2

Note that EUPL-1.2 is not CC BY-SA 4.0 and carries different obligations. If you reuse material from an imported section, check that section’s licence rather than the site footer.

Contributing

Opening a pull request against documentation in this repository means agreeing to publish your contribution under CC BY-SA 4.0. Contributing to an imported section means opening a pull request against that repository, under its terms.

When you add a new imported section, record its licence in the content adapter — the $license and $licenseFile variables near the top — so the banner on every page of that section states it. See Multi-repo documentation for the rest of the wiring.
