Issues & Camp Impact

r0ket note

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No local r0ket badge image is published because the Camp 2011 wiki `R0ket-display.jpeg` file page lists uploader and file history but does not expose an explicit reusable image license, permission basis, or complete attribution/processing trail for catalogue publication.

The record stays source-backed and image-free rather than copying the archived wiki image, Hackaday images, screenshots, or generated approximations.
