💜 Authors and copyright conditions 💜

okay so this one is important, don't skip it: go look at the header of the manual page source for the author(s) and the copyright conditions.

⚠️ and no cap — these can be different from page to page! 😭 so don't assume it's one-size-fits-all, every single page has its own receipts. check the header, every time, fr fr 🙈
