The descriptions of the programs in programs.json
were mostly previously published by the original authors under various licenses.
We do not hold the copyright to most of those descriptions, and we publish them
here in a good faith expectation that the original author, by publishing the
text as a promotional material alongside their CHIP-8 program, meant for those
descriptions to be disseminated further. Where possible we have credited the
original authors by name and by way of a URL pointing to the source material.

- Which information you hold the copyright of, and that you take issue with being in this database;
- Where that information is stored in our database;
- A proof of authorship of the information in question;
- How we can reach you with any further questions.
