Something wrong?
Wrong devices, a wrong description, or it isn't really open source? A mod reviews every suggestion.
What we couldn't confirm3
- The README does not state the license directly; the GPL-2.0 license comes from the host report only.
- The README does not say whether all parts of the project are under the same license.
- The lists gave no descriptions, so the replacement fit rests on the README wording alone.
