Notice¶
This repository and its contents are intended for Devonshire Digital LLC. All rights reserved.
Status of this notice¶
This is a provisional notice, not a complete or legally reviewed license or legal document. It exists to state intent clearly while the company's formal legal posture is established. Specifically:
- Distribution terms for this repository's contents have not been finalized.
- No open-source license is granted, implied, or intended by omission. Absence of an explicit license means all rights are reserved by default.
- This repository has no configured remote and is not currently distributed outside the company.
- Legal counsel must review this notice, and the company's licensing/IP posture generally, before any content from this repository is distributed publicly or to any external party.
What this notice does not do¶
This notice does not:
- Constitute a software license (e.g., it is not MIT, Apache 2.0, GPL, or any other recognized license).
- Grant any third party rights to use, copy, modify, or distribute the contents of this repository.
- Represent a complete intellectual property policy for Devonshire Digital LLC or any of its ventures (Shelfery, Digital Products, or future ventures).
- Serve as a substitute for terms of service, a privacy policy, or an end-user license agreement for any shipped product. Those are separate documents, scoped to their respective products, and are out of scope for this notice.
Ownership and copyright¶
Unless a specific document or file states otherwise, all content in this repository is the property of Devonshire Digital LLC. Copyright is retained; no rights are waived by publication of this file.
Before any public or external distribution¶
Anyone considering sharing content from this repository outside the company — publishing a document, releasing code, quoting policy text externally — should treat that as blocked pending legal review. This is a governance requirement, not a suggestion: see docs/company/operating-principles.md and docs/governance/open-questions.md, where the company's formal legal/IP posture is tracked as an open item.
