- CREDIT
-
- Credit where credit is due. This document was inspired by the FSF General
- Public License ("'c' for common noun", people !). However, it is not that
- licence, and items covered by this licence are not covered by the FSF
- licence.
-
- APOLOGIA
-
- I have tried to write this document in Real English, rather than any legal
- argot (dictionary definition: "The language of thieves"). So when I say
- "spade", please read "groundsoil restructuring implement".
-
