### Criteria for inclusion

Inclusion in the search does not imply endorsement by the Nix project or anyone else.

We generally try to include a wide range of flakes that could be of interest to Nix users, but reserve the right to refuse or remove flakes for reasons such as:

* Flakes that do not actually work
* Malicious packages
* Flakes with incorrect or incomplete license metadata
* Lack of relevance
* Programs that are already part of nixpkgs (we prefer you help maintain them there)
* Outdated package or packaging
* Flakes that require `allow-import-from-derivation`
