The Sandpaper Accountability License aims to protect the Work created by pengu5055 and to ensure that it is used
in ways that reflect the principles of ethical behavior, social responsibility and human rights. While this 
license permits others to share, use and adapt the Work for non-commercial purposes it also establishes conditions
that aim to prevent harm and exploitation. The author firmly believes that creative works should be made available

sharing of knowledge and the responsibility that comes with it.
