Open source attribution guardrails for public code, commonly called copyright guardrails, reduce the exposure to copyrighted code. This involves implementing a verification mechanism within Cody to ensure that any code generated by the platform does not replicate open source code.

Guardrails for public code are available to all Sourcegraph Enterprise instances and are **disabled** by default. You can enable them from the Site configuration section by setting `attribution.enabled` to `true`.

Guardrails don't differentiate between license types. It matches any code snippet that is at least **ten lines** long from the **290,000** indexed open source repositories.

### Guardrails `enforced` check

You can `enforce` a Guardrails check to prevent any matching code from being shown to the user. To do so, site admins need to add `"attribution.mode": "enforced"` in the **Site configuration** setting. This will configure the settings for Cody IDE extensions VS Code (v1.82+) or JetBrains (v7.82+) accordingly and will enforce not to display code until attribution checks have finished.
