3 Exception for GPL Compliance and Litigation-Relevant Documents
 

	
 
Conservancy expects all staff, officers, board members, and PLCs 
 
to comply fully with this Policy and any other written document 
 
retention policies, with the following notable exception to any 
 
stated destruction schedule: if you believe, or if Conservancy 
 
informs you, that certain Conservancy and/or Project records 
 
relate to efforts to bring companies into compliance with the 
 
General Public License, enforcing the GPL, or in some way relates 
 
to litigation or potential litigation (i.e., a dispute that could 
 
result in litigation), then you must preserve those records until 
 
it is determined that the records are no longer needed. That 
 
exception supersedes any previously or subsequently established 
 
destruction schedule for those records.
