Quality
Source trust registry
Every resource researched for the Forge, with its licence, capability, cost and reuse status. The rule that governs everything here: if reuse rights are unclear, it is reference-only — and no LICENSE file means all rights reserved, not open source.
Trust levels
VERIFIED_OPEN_SOURCE10
License confirmed and permissive. Material may enter the vault as code.
VERIFIED_COMMERCIAL11
Real product with known terms. Usable as a tool; assets need per-use verification.
REFERENCE_ONLY11
Study the design, never the code. Includes anything with no LICENSE file — absence of a license means all rights reserved.
LICENSE_UNCLEAR1
Looks reusable but the terms are not stated. Treated as reference-only until verified.
UNVERIFIED8
Not confirmed this session. Revisit before relying on it.
DEPRECATED0
Superseded; kept for provenance.
UNAVAILABLE2
Could not be retrieved (403, dead, or auth-walled).
