OTHER licensing scheme
Some projects include code from various sources and combine several software licenses. In this case it's easier to link to the code repository's license file, or some other equivalent source. The OTHER keyword can be used for this. It takes a second argument which is the URL to link to, and an optional third argument which is the anchor:
Usage | Description |
