Dear TDM Rep,

Thanks for your work on the TDM Reservation Protocol.

I’m looking for a reliable way to opt out of TDM on my personal GitHub repositories and in my search for a solution I came across the Text and Data Minding Reservation Protocol Community Group. In the TDM Reservation Protocol spec, I see there are methods defined for declaring reservations of TDM rights on an origin server, in HTTP responses, HTML content and more. But I didn’t find any methods that apply to code repositories. Does TDM Rep have any recommendations for how I can reserve my rights on my GitHub repos? Would adding a TDM file at the root of the repo be sufficient? It would be very helpful if this scenario could be added to the spec.

Kind regards,

Samuel
