Vibehub Attribution Covenant
A durable credit promise for public ideas and the people who build them.
The four promises
- Vibehub records the original poster as the idea source.
- A linked Vibehub build preserves a canonical credit link to that source.
- Builders retain rights to their original implementation, subject to the repository license and any separate signed agreement.
- Attribution alone creates no equity, payment, exclusivity, IP transfer, partnership, employment, patent rights, or endorsement.
What counts as attribution
Vibehub keeps a timestamped idea-source record, a public build lineage, contributor roles, and evidence links. A linked project should preserve its canonical Vibehub project URL in the project page, repository README, or another durable public location when practical.
What attribution does not mean
An idea-source record is provenance, not a claim that someone owns an abstract idea. Attribution receipts record roles and evidence; they are not money, securities, equity, royalties, wages, or a percentage of intellectual property.
Disputes and related work
Similarity checks are advisory. Earlier work, independent creation, and overlapping ideas can coexist. Users may attach evidence or report misleading attribution; Vibehub can mark a record disputed, corrected, or superseded without erasing its history.
