<p style="margin-top: 26px; margin-left: 0;">
The certification and its maintenance allow some adaptability to project-specific contexts. While core requirements must be met, the Licence Management Team may accept justified variations in handling dependencies, addressing vulnerabilities or managing licensing – especially when due to technical constraints, team practices or legacy elements being phased out. Projects should clearly explain such cases when submitting or updating their certification.
