Quick summary: This companion contains non-binding legal templates and safety-focused wording intended to help maintainers and contributors document responsible disclosure, takedown requests, and rules-of-engagement. It is not legal advice.

What this contains

• Fillable templates (DMCA-style takedown, cease & desist, vulnerability receipt, tester consent).
• Contributor legal rules (what must stay out of public commits).
• Playful "AI Lawyer" persona blurbs for README helper bots.

Important legal disclaimers

• Not legal advice. Use these templates as starting points only. Consult a licensed attorney for enforceable notices or jurisdiction-specific work.
• Local laws vary. Don’t assume these templates match rules in your country (e.g., Japan’s computer access laws, DMCA specifics, etc.).
• Sanitize before publishing. Never publish unredacted PII, user data, credentials, or weaponized exploit code.
