Things this page is missing or isn't precise about. Know the answer? A fix takes one click and a sentence, and the community picks it up from there.

  • License isn't a precise SPDX identifier — "custom" isn't a license id everyone reads the same way. The exact SPDX id tells you precisely what you may do.
    Help fix
  • Can't tell if it's free software — "custom" doesn't name a known free or proprietary license.
    Help fix
  • No screenshots — Links to official screenshots help people see what they'd install.
    Help fix
  • No project homepage — Where does the project live? Its website or repository.
