# AKU/HGD resource licensing

Copyright 2026 AKU/HGD project contributors.

The project applies separate licenses to different material in this archive. This is not an offer to choose either license for every file.

1. Original project software: MIT License. The complete standard license text is in `LICENSES/MIT.txt` (official source: https://opensource.org/license/mit). Its scope is the project Python programs listed in `LICENSE_SCOPE.json` and their code comments/docstrings. Independently documented third-party code is excluded.
2. Original project data, figures and documentation: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ . The legal terms are https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode.en . This covers the original project contributions to the derived analysis results, quantitative tables, figures, Methods, README and other project documentation, manifests and metadata, including such contributions retained as inputs for later analysis. `LICENSES/CC-BY-4.0.md` records the attribution notice.
3. Third-party material: its existing terms and provenance apply. Public molecular/reference records, publication metadata, source facts and third-party portions of mixed files are excluded from the project grants. `RIGHTS.md` and the retained source manifests identify these materials. The project grants no ownership or exclusive rights in those source facts or records. The PrimeDesign notice at `manuscript_audit/upstream/LICENSE` is retained unchanged and is not replaced by either project license. Optional third-party downloads are not relicensed by being used with this package.

`LICENSE_SCOPE.json` records the original code file list and scope boundaries. No exclusive institutional ownership is asserted. The license texts and attribution notices must travel with their corresponding materials as required by those licenses.
