It is crucial to note that the Revision may differ from one project to another, as each project may have unique requirements, contributors, and collaborative dynamics. By maintaining this distinction between Version and Revision, we can foster a flexible licensing approach that accommodates diverse projects while upholding proper copyright management across all endeavors.
When this License undergoes sub-version updates, such as 1.0 to 1.1, 1.2 to 1.3, and others, you will find those changes presented in a clear and organized manner within this file, enhancing readability.
