+### Licensing statement, June 19 2023
+
+I, nlscc, the former maintainer of samloader, make the following statement:
+```
+LICENSE ADDENDUM STATEMENT
+
+"Relevant Works" are the text of all commits authored by nlscc and uploaded
+using the former nlscc GitHub account, insofar as they form a set of
+instructions to modify a previous version of the source code (i.e. a set of
+diffs), but excluding any text not authored by me but required to implement the
+instructions.
+
+The Relevant Works have been released into the public domain. Any previous
+licenses applying to the Relevant Works are therefore null.
+
+All rights vested in the Relevant Works, copyright or otherwise (including but
+not limited to 'moral' rights), have been irreversibly waived, and
+notwithstanding the above nlscc hereby covenants not to attempt to assert the
+same.
+
+For the avoidance of doubt this statement does not apply to commits authored by
+people who are not nlscc.
+```
+
