# Rights, access, and redistribution

Preservation is not redistribution. Open infrastructure may include emulator integration, metadata schemas, compatibility records, hashes, manifests, provenance models, hardware profiles, reproducible runtime definitions, preservation tooling, and documentation.

Commercial binaries, firmware, copyrighted artwork, music, manuals, and proprietary assets may be restricted. Support artifact references, hashes, and provenance even when access must be controlled. Research current German/EU preservation, emulator, research, and controlled-access rules before public distribution. This document is not legal advice.
