Repo Attribution Policy

This policy governs how upstream open-source content is used in AEEF adaptation assets.

Core rules

1. Every copied or adapted snippet must include original source URL and repository.
2. Every upstream repository must be recorded in an attribution manifest.
3. License compatibility must be checked before embedding code.
4. Adapted code must include an "Adapted from" note and changes summary.
5. If license compatibility is unclear, use reference-only links and no copied code.
