Monitoring Checklist

Use this checklist to track forks, reuse, and license compliance for the public repository.

Weekly Review

• Check the GitHub "Forks" list for new forks.
• Review the top 5 recent forks for license compliance signals (LICENSE present, README attribution).
• Search GitHub for exact project name and unique phrases from README.

Monthly Review

• Search Hugging Face for your repo name and key phrases.
• Check for new public deployments that reference your repo name.
• Review open issues/PRs for third-party usage disclosures.

Response Steps

• Capture evidence (URL, screenshots, commit hash).
• Notify the maintainer of the fork with a polite compliance request.
• Escalate to platform takedown if non-compliant and unresponsive.

Suggested Alerts (Manual Setup)

• GitHub notifications: Watch the repo for "All Activity".
• GitHub search alerts: Save searches for your repo name and key phrases.
• Google Alerts: Create alerts for project name and unique phrases.
