Software Deposit: What not to deposit

  • 1. The Software Sustainability Institute

Description

A software deposit lodged within a digital repository can contain myriad content. But there is certain content that should not be included within a software deposit. Some of this content may be innocuous and only result in your deposit being more bloated than it otherwise needs to be. Some of this content may compromise your security. And, in the worst case, some of this content may result in you inadvertently breaking local laws relating to data protection. This guide summarises the content that should not be deposited with your software.
