i personally reject the whole notion of IP as merely a confused
justification for the use of violence against peaceful people... but i
can do the necessary steps:

hereby i acknowledge that any contribution i will provide to the MKCL
project will fall under MKCL's LGPL v3 licence.

“The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the
currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both
bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and
economic opportunists.”
	― Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), 'Notes on the Next War' (1935)
