s/evidence/hints/
(Might be the same in proper English, but for non-native speakers like
me evidence is stuff good enough for court, which is far to strong
here.).
And having stuff marked as being from other sources is a very clear
indication there might be at least some copyright line missing and
very likely also a license.
