Source and licence

It comes from the open-source project BeepBox: its authors, johnnesky, published the code for anyone to use and change. Its licence covers the code, not the name, so the copy on Tofu goes by a plain name.

Its licence, MIT, lets you use and change it freely, as long as you keep the authors’ copyright notice.

Your copy is the version you copied; the authors’ later updates don’t arrive by themselves.
