+## Contributing and Licensing
+This coding standard is used internally on HydraWiki projects in support of the Gamepedia Platform. This project is made public for ease of use by our team and it is not our intention to maintain it for public use as an alternative to the [original project][3] from which it was derived. However, if you do find it useful and want to contribute improvements to it, any merge request will be consider against our internal needs for this project before public considerations.

+The project is available under [MIT license][4] unless otherwise noted in files that are used from other projects. These files retain the original license under which they were created.
