DMCA, Copyright & Open-Source Attribution Policy

LanternRack exists to celebrate and document open-source self-hosted software. Every guide links prominently to the upstream GitHub repository, container registry, and project documentation.

1. Open-Source Maintainer Attribution & Maintainer Requests

When our automated pipeline deploys an open-source repository:

• We credit the upstream repository owner (github.com/owner/repo) at the top of the guide and in the Container Spec sidebar card.
• Screenshots shown in our guides are genuine captures of the software running locally in our isolated browser harness for commentary, instruction, and review (Fair Dealing under s. 29 of the *Canadian Copyright Act* and Fair Use under 17 U.S.C. § 107).
• Maintainer Fast-Track: If you are the maintainer of an open-source project featured on LanternRack and would like us to update an environment variable recommendation, change how your logo/UI is displayed, or remove a guide, email dmca@croogserverdude.ca and we will act on it within 24–48 hours—no formal legal boilerplate required.
