yep just adjusting that.

btw, there really is a distinction between "open" and "libre".  adding
a catchall "this project is libre / open" is misleading and
inaccurate.  a good article basically summarises as, "libre has
ethical intentions as the absolute top priority, quotes open quotes
source does not".
