% \section{What license to choose for the document?}
%
% The list of available licenses is long (see
% \href{https://spdx.org/licenses/}{SPDX License List}). Only a (small) subset
% of them are a good choice for documentation. The \doclicenseLongType family
% seem to be a common choice as contributions to this package have shown. This
% package was translated to 15+ languages but no other license families have
% been added yet. With that, a link to
% \href{https://creativecommons.org/choose/}{Creative Commons: Choose a
% License} is probably justified if you have not done that already.
%
% \section{REUSE Specification}
%
% That clarifies the question under which license you want to put the document
% under, but in practice it might not be as easy as that.
% Under what license are the artifacts (images/figures/tables/source code
% listings) you are including? It would probably be useful to track such
% metadata along with the files. For this, the \href{REUSE
% Specification}{https://reuse.software/} can be used.
%
% The REUSE Specification is independed of \LaTeXe{} and more \enquote{low
% level} than this package.
% \PackageName{} might integrate with the REUSE Specification at a later point.
% Refer to \url{https://github.com/ypid/latex-packages/issues/72} for
% discussion how such an integration could look like.
