What we’ll accept
- Public domain (e.g. US federal works under 17 USC §105, copyright-expired works).
- Creative Commons— CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA at minimum. CC BY-NC variants are reviewed case-by-case (we’re a paid app, so non-commercial licences need careful handling).
- Open Government Licence (UK gov.uk content), Open Database Licence (OpenStreetMap data), and similar permissive public-sector licences.
- Donated rights— if you hold the rights to a work you’d like to give us permission to redistribute, we have a one-page agreement to sign.
What we won’t accept
- Anything sold commercially that you don’t own.
- Random blog scrapes — the source has to be a primary one.
- Medical content without a clearly named publishing body and a last-reviewed date.
- YouTube videos unless the description explicitly permits download / redistribution.
How to submit
Email library@gobagplus.app with:
- Title, publisher, year.
- URL to the canonical source.
- The exact licence (link to the licence text, not just the name).
- Why it belongs in GoBagPlus — one paragraph.
Triage time is usually within two business days. Acceptance can take longer if we need to verify rights — that’s the part of the job we move carefully on. See the licensing policy for the audit trail we keep.

One title per email is best. We’ll reply with a yes / no / need-more-info within a couple of business days.
