## 3. Attribution and Author Credibility

One of the core principles of the GOFL is the recognition of the Author's contributions.

- **Preserving Author Credibility**: Any modifications or Derivative Works that substantially alter the functionality, design, or behavior of the Software must not misrepresent the original Author's contributions.
