Parts

Parts under a different licence

• The shared site template, baseline 1.13.0 (opens in a new tab), in /assets/baseline/: dedicated to the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal (licence text (opens in a new tab)), except the 3 items below.
• The fonts Newsreader, Public Sans, JetBrains Mono, and Dancing Script: licensed by their authors under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 (licence files: Newsreader, Public Sans, JetBrains Mono, Dancing Script).
• The GitHub Invertocat, the LinkedIn [in] bug, and the ORCID iD icon in the footer: trademarks of their owners, used under their owners' published terms (recorded here), and not covered by the CC0 grant.
• The project names the template's logos carry (SecureConfig, OPFiles, AuditThis, CleanLanguage, AIQT, GRC Library, VendorReplies and NodeKeeper) and the projects' domain names: the projects' own names and marks, which CC0 1.0 does not license (its section 4(a)).

In plain language

What you may do

You may copy and share the work, in whole or in part, and make and share adapted versions of it (section 2(a)(1)), in any medium or format, with the technical changes needed to do so (section 2(a)(4)). The grant is worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, and irrevocable (section 2(a)(1)).

When you share the work, changed or not, you must (section 3(a)(1)):

• keep the identification of its creator, the copyright notice, a notice that refers to the licence, a notice that refers to its disclaimer of warranties, and a link to the material where reasonably practicable;
• say whether you changed it, and keep any note of earlier changes;
• state that it is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, with the licence text or a link to it.

You may meet these conditions in any reasonable way for the medium, for example with a link to a page that carries them (section 3(a)(2)), and you must remove the attribution details if the licensor asks, where reasonably practicable (section 3(a)(3)).

If you share an adapted version, you must license your contribution under CC BY-SA 4.0, a later version with the same elements, or a licence Creative Commons lists as compatible (section 3(b)(1)), include that licence's text or a link to it (section 3(b)(2)), and add no terms or technical measures that restrict the rights it grants (section 3(b)(3)).

When you share the work, unmodified or adapted, you may not add terms or technical measures that restrict anyone else's use of it (section 2(a)(5)(C)).

Key limits, as the licence states: you may not imply that the licensor endorses you or your use (section 2(a)(6)); patent and trademark rights are not licensed (section 2(b)(2)); the work is offered as is and as available, without warranties of any kind (section 5(a)), and the licensor is not liable for losses arising from its use (section 5(b)). Your rights end automatically if you fail to comply, and are reinstated if you cure the failure within 30 days of discovering it, or if the licensor expressly reinstates them (section 6). Where fair use, fair dealing, or another exception applies to your use, the licence does not apply to that use (section 2(a)(2)).

The licence text governs; this is a summary, not legal advice.
