Point
Original material permits reuse without relicensing sources
Original Atlas project material is dedicated to the commons, while referenced standards, documents, dependencies, names, and contributions retain their own rights.

The project offers its original repository material under CC0 1.0 Universal or 0BSD, at the recipient’s choice so independent implementations and adaptations can reuse the contract without seeking project-specific permission. Contributors must have the right to submit the material they add and must identify relevant third-party terms.
A link or Resource registration does not copy its target into the commons. External standards, source documents, package dependencies, names, marks, privacy rights, and patent rights remain subject to their own conditions. Linking is preferred when the Atlas can remain understandable without redistributing another party’s material.
Commons and rightsCC0 or 0BSD covers original Atlas material while Resource links preserve the separate rights of external sources.
