CIE COPYRIGHT
Know where your code
comes from.
CIE Copyright connects code matches with upstream history, licence and notice evidence, recorded permissions and contextual review—so engineering teams can examine provenance before release.
THE VALUE
Move from a match
to a supported review.
AI-assisted development makes it easier to reuse and adapt code. CIE Copyright helps teams trace candidate matches to source history and relevant licensing evidence, then keep the material together for human review.
Trace code provenance
Compare a target codebase with selected reference snapshots and public upstream repositories, including earlier source versions.
Review licence and notice evidence
Connect matches with licence files, SPDX expressions, notice gaps and declared dependency information.
Keep permissions in context
Record the repositories or snapshots, files, purposes, review authority and evidence covered by a permission.
Give reviewers the evidence
Inspect matched ranges and export a case record with source history, hashes, licence evidence, permissions and review notes.
HOW IT WORKS
From source code
to reviewable evidence.
01 / Select the code
Import a public GitHub repository, ZIP archive, folder or selected files. Repository imports retain the resolved commit and file hashes.
02 / Compare statically
CIE Copyright compares exact files and normalised code patterns. JavaScript, TypeScript and Python also receive function-structure comparison. Source code and build scripts are not executed.
03 / Add the surrounding context
Record whether and how the code is used, including modification, deployment and AI-tool context. Connect the comparison to applicable licence and notice material and recorded permissions.
04 / Review and retain
Inspect candidate matches, request a governed CIE assessment when appropriate, record a human review and export the supporting evidence.
PUBLISHER WORKS
Monitor publications
across public sources.
Register original text or scanned works with ownership evidence, add known permissions, then schedule public-source discovery and crawling. Review matched passages alongside the relevant permission records and retained captures.
Captured pages preserve the source URL, response, original bytes, extracted text, timestamp and hash. Previous captures remain available as material changes over time.
BUILT FOR CAREFUL REVIEW
Similarity is a lead
for investigation.
Exact matches, near-copy alignments and semantic candidates help direct attention to material worth examining. Similarity scores do not establish ownership, infringement or AI authorship. CIE Copyright keeps the evidence and permissions together so a reviewer can assess the case in context.
Discovery is limited to search-accessible public sources and configured crawl scope. Search, capture, OCR and parsing limits are recorded with the results.
