ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REQUEST (not legally binding, but appreciated)

If you use imgcheck in your research, project, or product, we would really
appreciate it if you could — if possible — give a small credit in any of
these ways, whichever feels right to you:

  Option 1 — Credit the tool:
      "Dataset auditing was performed using imgcheck
       (https://pypi.org/project/imgcheck)."

  Option 2 — Credit the authors:
      "Dataset auditing was performed using imgcheck
       (Rama Narasimha Kanduri & CS Hari Krishna, 2026)."

  Option 3 — Credit both:
      "Dataset auditing was performed using imgcheck by
       Rama Narasimha Kanduri & CS Hari Krishna
       (https://pypi.org/project/imgcheck)."

Any acknowledgement — the tool name, the authors, or both — is warmly
appreciated. Thank you for using imgcheck!
