Stephan" Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2024 09:48:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] 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 Signed-off-by: Brian S.
