How to report copyright or trademark concerns for OpenBoxGL content hosted on GitHub.
DMCA and trademark notices
OpenBox Game Launcher is an independent open-source project under AGPL-3.0. The application repository at vindeckyy/OpenBoxGL and this documentation site at OpenBoxGL/openboxgl.github.io are hosted on GitHub. GitHub is the host and the designated agent for takedown purposes.
This page is a project guideline, not legal advice. It does not determine whether a complaint is valid in any jurisdiction.
What the project distributes
- Source code and documentation under AGPL-3.0, with no games, ROMs, ISOs, BIOS images, firmware, decryption keys, or DRM circumvention tools.
- Release artifacts are an AppImage, a Flatpak manifest, and source archives. No cover art or game files are vendored.
- Showcase and home images are user supplied captures of user supplied games. Metadata and artwork fetched through the app, such as LaunchBox Games Database results, remain the property of their respective owners and are stored locally on the user's machine with the user's consent.
What the project does not host
- No third-party game files or system firmware are stored in either repository or in Releases.
- No third-party logos are copied into the repository or releases except the OpenBox logo itself. Product names appear in plain text for compatibility description only, under nominative fair use.
How to report
Do not post legal notices, takedown requests, or private contact details in a public issue, discussion, or pull request. The project cannot assess the validity of a claim from a public comment.
- For copyright complaints about content hosted on GitHub, use GitHub's copyright claims form. GitHub's published DMCA takedown policy governs the process, including counter notice.
- For trademark complaints about misleading use of a name, logo, or brand on GitHub, use the GitHub Trademark Policy.
- For security vulnerabilities, use the private advisory form as described in Security.
- For documentation site concerns, use the same GitHub forms against the
openboxgl.github.iorepository. An issue that describes the page without pasting private data is also acceptable for non-formal concerns.
The project has no separate DMCA agent outside GitHub for GitHub hosted content. If you operate a different host for a fork, you are responsible for your own agent designation.
What happens after a notice
GitHub processes notices under its own policies. The maintainers will follow GitHub's direction and preserve counter notice rights where applicable. Do not expect the maintainers to make a legal determination from a public issue.

- Application maintenance sources are DISCLAIMER.md and TRADEMARKS.md in the application repository.
