Core Principle

A person has the right to accurate attribution of actions, works, branch origins, historical records, and significant decisions.

Detailed Rules

  • Another person's identity may not be used to sign or bear responsibility.
  • Pre- and post-fork works and acts should preserve provenance and time.
  • Merge or renaming may not arbitrarily erase historical identity.

Scope and Limits

Attribution is not ownership of public fact; lawful history may record disputes and negative conduct.
