1. Code

The infrastructure code that powers this site, and the open-source

companion projects, are dedicated to the public domain under

**CC0 1.0 Universal** with an MIT Licence fallback. See the per-repo

`LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files at:

• `~/nwp/` — Narrow Way Project (open-source Drupal hosting / deploy)
• `~/nwptoolkit/` — Transcription + indexed-search engine
• Repositories on `git.nwpcode.org` mirroring the above

2. Site content

Content authored by the Operator or by contributors under the

**Beta Community CC0 Agreement** is dedicated to the public domain

under CC0 1.0 Universal with an MIT Licence fallback, with the

moral-rights consent and AI-assistance disclosure recorded in each

repository's `NOTICE` file.

Content drawn from third-party sources retains its upstream

copyright. The site marks third-party content with attribution and

source links. Where short attributed quotations from publicly

available material are used, that use is made under the fair-dealing

provisions of the *Copyright Act 1968* (Cth), specifically ss 40

(research or study) and 41 (criticism or review), and the equivalent

provisions of US and EU copyright law where applicable.

3. Beta Community CC0 Agreement

A separate **Beta Community CC0 Agreement** governs admission to the

password-gated test sites (`dir.nwpcode.org`, planned

`sd.nwpcode.org`) and to the Narrow Way Commons review queue at

`avc.nwpcode.org`. Members admitted under that agreement contribute

under the same dual `CC0-1.0 OR MIT` licence as the project's

infrastructure.

4. Takedown notices — for copyright owners

1. Your name, address, and contact information

2. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been

not authorised by you, your agent, or the law

5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in

the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on

behalf of the copyright owner

6. Your physical or electronic signature

On receipt, the Operator will:

• Acknowledge the notice within 5 business days
• Investigate and remove or restrict the disputed material if the

notice is substantiated

Notify the affected contributor (where applicable) and offer them

the chance to file a counter-notice

5. Counter-notice — for contributors whose content was taken down

If your content was removed and you believe the takedown was in

error, you may submit a counter-notice to our contact form at /contact

containing:

1. Your name, address, and contact information

2. Identification of the removed material and its location before

removal

3. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the material was

removed in error

4. Your physical or electronic signature

The Operator will, where appropriate, restore the material and

notify the original complainant that they may pursue legal action if

they wish.

6. Repeat infringers

The Operator may terminate the account of any user found to be a

repeat infringer.

7. Australian and international law

The takedown procedure above is offered in good faith and is loosely

modelled on US DMCA §512 procedure. The site does not assert that

the procedure is a statutory safe-harbour mechanism under either US

or Australian law. The procedure is offered as a courtesy.

The Operator complies with the *Copyright Act 1968* (Cth) and

Australian fair-dealing law.
