License policy

The repository releases its schema, scripts, documentation, examples, and generated CSAG artifacts under the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory non-commercial use only license unless a file or source manuscript states a different license. LICENSE holds the license text, the Berkeley Lab copyright notice, and the U.S. Department of Energy contract notice. Use is limited to non-commercial purposes; for commercial use, contact Berkeley Lab's Intellectual Property Office at IPO@lbl.gov.

Exception	License policy
Source manuscripts and third-party PDFs	Keep their original licenses. Redistribute them only when the source license permits it.
Generated CSAG artifacts derived from a source manuscript	Repository license unless the source manuscript license restricts redistribution.

Prior-art fixtures listed in examples/prior-art/candidate_manifest.json are released only with documented open licenses. Each released fixture records Creative Commons license evidence in its example manifest, and two fixtures (ciccarese2013_pav_ontology and stocker2025_machine_readable) bundle the source PDF their licenses permit. The examples/jamy2026 example follows the same rule. The manuscript 10.1038/s41467-025-67401-4 reports a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license, recorded in examples/jamy2026/example_manifest.json.

Before adding a fixture, check its source license and record the license status and allowed files in the fixture's manifest and README.
