Title

[legal] Prepare rightsholder evidence package

Labels

legal, registry, docs

Purpose

Prepare the rightsholder and legal evidence checklist needed before any future Russian software registry submission.

Background

Technical readiness documentation does not replace legal confirmation. The rightsholder package remains pending until reviewed by the responsible party.

Scope

• Prepare a rightsholder evidence checklist.
• Identify ownership and license evidence to collect.
• Document legal review TODOs.
• Keep public wording conservative.

Non-goals

• No legal conclusion by engineering.
• No claim that registry submission is complete.
• No publication of confidential contracts or personal data.

Acceptance criteria

• Checklist of required legal evidence exists.
• Ownership evidence categories are documented.
• Open legal questions are recorded.
• Public docs avoid certification and registry-completion claims.

Evidence required

• Legal checklist document.
• Rightsholder evidence inventory in non-sensitive form.
• Dependency/license summary reference.
• Legal review status note.

Safety/privacy guardrails

• Do not publish passport data, signatures, contracts or confidential legal documents.
• Do not expose personal data of representatives.
• Use references to private evidence storage when needed.

Registry-positioning guardrails

• Do not claim legal readiness until formal review is complete.
• Do not claim completed Russian software registry submission.
• GitHub issues are public tracking, not legal evidence.

Checklist

• Draft rightsholder evidence checklist.
• Map ownership evidence categories.
• Reference dependency/license documents.
• Record open legal questions.
• Review public wording for forbidden claims.
