 ## Notes
 
+- This repository aggregates **metadata only** (name, description, version, checksum, download URL) about third-party PS5 payload projects. The upstream payloads themselves remain the property of their respective authors under their own licenses. The MIT license above covers only the aggregation script, the curated `sources.json`, and the generated `payloads.json`.
 - No binaries are hosted here. `url` points at the upstream release asset; download happens on the PS5 side.
 - Checksums come from the GitHub Release API `digest` field. Non-GitHub repos (e.g. Forgejo on `git.etawen.dev`) and assets without a published digest have an empty `checksum`.
 - `LightningMods/Itemzflow` is auto-skipped — its releases ship no `.elf`/`.bin` asset, so the aggregator finds no canonical asset to list.
