- Hence you should say so. You should take all the credit you deserve.
- Although I would love to get my hands on code like this and see just
- how all of this works, you should profit in some way from your work.
- Whether this be financial or otherwise is up to you. If you want to
- call it something else (Like the Lukka editor) then that may be sufficient
- for you.

- The copywrite notice in GNU source tends to allow people to modify their version
- as long as they keep the notice. There are not often conflicting versions
- around since they are continually modified by one source. If you had
- that in mind then the same would work here.
