NOTICE
======

This repository contains no ZIM file and no text from any ZIM file.

A ZIM is an archive of someone else's content, and each one carries that content's own licence: DevDocs ZIMs
archive upstream project documentation under whatever licence each project chose, Stack Exchange ZIMs are
user-contributed content under Creative Commons terms with attribution requirements, Wikipedia is another
case again. Those licences differ from each other and from this software's. zimlore therefore never ships,
vendors or embeds ZIM content: files live in `ZIMLORE_HOME` (default `~/.zimlore`, subdirectory `zim/`) on
each user's machine, fetched by the user with `zimlore get` or copied there, and `.gitignore` names every way
a ZIM can be spelled so that one cannot be staged by accident. `tests/test_license.py` is a tripwire against
the obvious copy, not a proof against a determined one; its test ZIMs are built from invented text at test
time, in a temporary directory.

What zimlore says about a document is a citation (library, ZIM edition date, entry path) plus the licence
metadata the ZIM itself carries in its `License` field. Many ZIMs, including the DevDocs ones measured while
writing this, carry none, and zimlore reports that as "not stated in the ZIM" rather than guessing: the
licence of the text you reuse is the upstream project's, and you should read it there.

The code in this repository is licensed under the MIT licence in LICENSE. That licence covers the code only.
