DMCA & Copyright Policy

Our position on GPL content

GPL Market distributes software released under the GNU General Public License and similar copyleft licenses. The GPL expressly permits the redistribution of covered software, so material hosted here is generally lawful to share. Even so, we respect the rights of all creators. If you believe content on our platform infringes your rights or is not properly GPL-licensed, you may ask us to remove it.

Before filing: please confirm the licensing of the work in question. Because GPL-licensed material is, by design, freely redistributable, redistribution alone is usually not infringement. Verifying the license first helps everyone avoid unnecessary notices.

How to file a takedown notice

Send a written notice to dmca@gpl.market. To allow us to act on it, your notice must include all of the following:

• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
• The exact URL(s) on GPL Market of the material you want removed or disabled.
• Your contact details, including your full name and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use of the material is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act on the rights holder's behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

What happens next

We review every properly submitted notice. Where a claim is valid, we will remove or disable access to the identified material promptly and may notify the uploader or source of the content about the action taken and the reason for it. We may contact you if we need clarification before acting on your request.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to dmca@gpl.market. A counter-notice should include identification of the removed material and its prior location, your contact details, a statement made under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed in error, your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts, and your physical or electronic signature. Where permitted, we may restore the material after a reasonable period unless the original complainant pursues further legal action.

Repeat infringers

We take repeated infringement seriously. In appropriate circumstances, we may remove content and restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts associated with repeated valid infringement claims. We reserve the right to take any further action we consider necessary to comply with the law and protect the rights of creators.
