Alice Thornburgh Contributor License v3.0 is an amendment to the Archive’s contributor-license framework.
It adds three provisions. First, an assisting operator may search the Archive for three to eight non-obvious cross-links and propose them with rationales. Second, analysis should receive generous substantive treatment rather than being compressed into a thin summary. Third, the contributor’s deposit history should be maintained through a dedicated DOI registry.
The document treats archive scanning as a permitted form of productive autonomy, not as authority to publish, modify, or attribute without review. Proposed relations remain proposals until accepted.
The recovered body is an amendment, not a restatement of the entire license. All provisions inherited from v2.0 therefore require the parent instrument for interpretation.
The document is also historically tied to Zenodo procedures that no longer describe the Archive’s current sovereign repository.
