% \section{What license to choose for the document?}
%
% The list of available licenses is long (see
% \href{https://spdx.org/licenses/}{SPDX License List}). Only a (small) subset
% of them are a good choice for documentation. The \doclicenseLongType family
% seem to be a common choice as contributions to this package have shown. This
% package was translated to 15+ languages but no other license families have
% been added yet. With that, a link to
% \href{https://creativecommons.org/choose/}{Creative Commons: Choose a
% License} is probably justified if you have not done that already.
%
% That clarifies the question under which license you want to put the document
% under, but in practice it might not be as easy as that.
% Under what license are the artifact (image/figure/table/source code listing)
% you are including? If you created them yourself the answer is easy. If not,
% it would probably be useful to track such metadata along with the files.
% For this, the \href{REUSE Specificatio}{https://reuse.software/} can be used.
% \PackageName{} might integrate with the REUSE Specification to automate
% proper attribution of artifacts at a later point.
