It might also be a good time to clarify that the sources are still

license holders. However the cost of obtaining the license is vastly
more affordable now than in a previous era.

Hmmm, didn't the V7 shell borrow from the V6 shell? Perhaps not
completely "based on" (as in starting from a copy and editing away).
