    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    Attorney-drafted legal templates for startups and technology companies. Created by the attorneys at General Legal and released under CC0 1.0. Free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute for any purpose, without attribution.

    These templates are provided in LLM-optimized markdown and original .docx formats. Highlighted text (marked with <mark> tags in the markdown files) indicates fields that should be customized for your use.

    These templates include a General Legal credit footnote. The templates are released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so retaining that footnote isn't a legal requirement, but we ask that you keep it in place when reproducing or adapting these documents.
