reorder the attribution section a bit

also add a blurb about what I believe satisfies the GPLv3 in any
distribution of the object files and/or objects themselves, since I'm
beginning to think about how to send sticks to other people

### Distributing BSS Sticks
Under the terms of the GPLv3, you must inform the receiver of the "object code" of their rights under the GPLv3. This is
a bit of a gray area for physical objects, but likely applies to distribution of modified or unmodified STL, STEP, etc.
files at a minimum. The easiest way to satisfy the GPLv3 in either situation is to provide a link to the source code
(either the unmodified mainline project, or your copy, with modifications listed in a "prominent notice"); something
like the below should suffice in either electronic or printed form:
> This arcade stick is part of the Buildable Stick System, version X.Y.Z; the source code to this program is available
> under the terms of the GNU General Public License, at [LINK].
