Automated connections

SCM repositories

You may configure automated tools to connect to Codehaus repositories at most once per hour. This includes tools such Continuous Integration or automated build tools.

If you are checking multiple projects / branches, you may check each project / branch once per hour.

Website mirroring

You may not configure any tool to mirror or otherwise automatically download Codehaus distributed content.

If you are offering a public mirror, then please contact us. We can provide rsync access to save both our and your time.

Automated web spiders must obey the Robot Exclusion Standard.

Advertising

Competitor advertising / non Codehaus advertisements (eg. Google ads using a non Codehaus advertiser ID) are not permitted. In some cases they are in contravention to our advertising provider's rules and risk us losing our primary source of income.
