 This repository uses a community-driven model. This means that there are no dedicated developers working on new features or bug fixes or translations or documentation. Instead, it relies on the contributed efforts of those that choose to use it.
 
 This software is dedicated to the public domain to the extent permissible by law and is not associated with any consumer brand or product.
