Who made it, and why: author, credits, licence and support
The README says who wrote it and the two projects it was built for, WII6 and OGLAS, with their sites; credits Ground Control for the modem and the library that does the protocol work; and gives the licence with contact details, where to report issues and what helps in a report, and that it is not a Ground Control product. The licence, every source file and the Python package's metadata carry the copyright and email; the package lists its homepage, repository, issues and changelog.

## Support
|
||||
|
||||
Report issues on the [GitHub mirror](https://github.com/SH3D/rockblock9704-zephyr/issues)
|
||||
(the Gitea instance does not allow public sign-ups). Most helpful in a
|
||||
report: the output of `rb9704 spy on` around the problem, and the modem's
|
||||
firmware version from `rb9704 info`.

This is not an official Ground Control product. Use at your own risk, and
|

remember that every `send` costs airtime.
