## Publication obligations and evidence boundary

- The Pexels images are marked free to use on their source pages. Pexels permits commercial website use and editing without mandatory credit, subject to its license restrictions (notably no false endorsement).
- For the Commons **CC BY / CC BY-SA** images, publish photographer credit, source link, exact license link, and any resizing/cropping or other change note in a public photo-credits location. Do not suggest the photographers or visible equipment brands endorse Super Smile. If distributing an adapted CC BY-SA image, follow that image's ShareAlike terms. A repository-only `SOURCES.md` does not by itself satisfy public attribution.
- The CC0 image may be used commercially without required attribution; its source is retained here for traceability.
- These stock photos should not be captioned as company-made harnesses, company test evidence, verified connector standards, or performance results. Match each caption to what is visibly present; technical claims need separate specification or test evidence.
