GIT AND GITHUB:

Github is the sole provider of public repositories and Git is the sole version control system (VCS) for this project. Contributing developers are required to use this service and method. Accounts belonging to contributing developers that do not use two-factor authentication are automatically rejected by Github. Pull requests that are not signed using GPG that authenticates the developer's identity are likely to be rejected.

CODING STANDARDS AND STYLE:

This is not GNU software, however coding style follows GNU Coding Standards published by Richard M. Stallman, Free Software Foundation, dated May 18, 2025 or later. GNU Coding Standards can be obtained from: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/

LEGAL STANDING:

For any person who makes a non-trivial contribution to the project, including comments and documentation files, a legal release document is required. This document must be signed by all interested parties, GPG-protected, and submitted before a pull request can be accepted. Although this software is covered by the GNU General Public License, it is not GNU software and copyright has not been assigned to FSF. This means the legal defense burden is on Positronikal to both defend the terms of the license and to exercise the right to distribute the software. Being a small developer group, our means to fight lengthy court battles are limited. Every effort is made, therefore, to prevent such an occurrence at all. Send an email to hoyt.harness@gmail.com to request a disclaimer form.
