+- Derived Files: cv/preamble.tex (and LaTeX CV layouts under cv/)
+- Licensing Terms: There is a discrepancy between primary sources regarding the license terms. The upstream LaTeX source header specifies "% License: MIT", while the Overleaf template listing page specifies Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0). This project provides attribution that satisfies both potential terms by retaining the original source header comment in cv/preamble.tex (as required by MIT) and providing visible credit with a link to the source (as required by CC BY 4.0).
