Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit adds a new note to the README file about copyright ownership
as documented by the GPLv3 in its "How to Apply These Terms to Your New
Programs" section:

https://github.com/cboard-org/cboard/blob/e899dcac56b456794f5f9407d202513fd68b9433/LICENSE#L623

Of note, it clarifies that the intellectual property is stewarded by the
OTTAA Project, following the recent partnership of the two projects:

* DPGAlliance/publicgoods-candidates#559 (review)
* https://twitter.com/UNICEFinnovate/status/1429787336368431104
* https://unicef-if.discourse.group/t/meet-ottaa-project-tech-for-speech-impairment/132?u=jwf

This clarifies feedback that came up in review of Cboard's application
to become a Digital Public Good, and will enable the certification
process to move forward. 🚀

See discussion in DPGAlliance/publicgoods-candidates#559 for more context.
