Prohibition of Misrepresentation (Section 7(c)):
This attribution text must be reasonably prominent and clearly readable.
A link to https://openfront.io may be included alongside the attribution.

use "OpenFront" as the primary title or imply official endorsement.
These attribution requirements are additional terms under Section 7 of
the GNU Affero General Public License v3, which governs this software.
Modified versions may not misrepresent their origin or
relationship to the OpenFront project. Modified versions must
not use "OpenFront" as their primary title or imply official
