asciilifeform: and any reseller found to be selling freely to plebes, will get to pay retain rates to samsung itself

asciilifeform: the latter is now to be considered properly vtronic.
asciilifeform: anyway, to go back to business, the pedigree bridge makes it possible to read, in one sitting, all of the changes i made to the classical tinyscheme which ends up in shiva.
