Rules update (crediting policy)

Some updates:

I’ve made a further note about what will and will not be applied retroactively here.

Furthermore, some more substantial changes:

In the main body of the guidelines regarding code assets:

Most code assets do not strictly need to be directly credited, but it is good practice to do so anyway You are strongly encouraged to give credit to any code assets used by your project, either explicitly or referenced. If code is released under a license, please follow the terms of that license. As general practice, any code snippets posted on FEU with no other license is assumed to be released under CC0 public domain. , but please check whether the author is asking for credit!

In the FAQ, an added bullet:

What happens if my project does not meet these guidelines?

  • That depends a lot on how much you’re missing. If you’re just missing a few things, we’re typically happy to let things slide while you fix them. For bigger infractions, we may temporarily de-list your project until you can get your credits in order.
