How Robotheca reads each entry

  • The code license comes from the project's license files at a pinned commit, never from a badge.
  • Maintenance comes from the newest commit: active within 90 days, maintained within 12 months, stale after that.
  • Nothing is hosted or run here: every page links to the project itself.
