 While this is a free and open-source project, its license does require **attribution**. **If you are using any part of s3s, splatnet2statink, `iksm.py`, etc. in your project, _please provide a link back to this repository_**. I have spent over half a decade and hundreds of hours of my personal time on these projects for the Splatoon community – so, at the least, some credit would be appreciated. :) Thank you! –eli
