[tlhIngan Hol] nIqHom mab quv

[Daniel Dadap]

I created this primarily as a joke, so I discourage anybody from using it for anything serious. I’m interested in whatever feedback others can provide about either the Klingon or the suitability of this as an actual software license. In particular, I don’t love the use of “velqa'” here, so if anyone knows a better way to express “copying software” I’d love to hear it. If you have any feedback, feel free to share it here or on GitHub:
