-README
-======
-
-About
------
-The present collection of files offers a template for a final thesis (no matter
-whether project, bachelor, or master thesis). You are welcome to modify anything
-to your personal needs. In case of any ambiguity, consult your supervisor on
-formal aspects of the document, instead of just relying of my design choices for
-the present template.
-
-Also see the content of template-master-thesis.pdf for some more suggestions.
-
-Usage
------
-It is strongly recommended to use a latex wrapper like latexmk (or rubber), in
-order to build it. You can find a Makefile in the toplevel directory providing
-a nice interface to latexmk:
-
-Type `make` In order to build the PDF, type `make clean` to remove all
-automatically generated files (including the PDF).
-
-License of this Template
-------------------------
-You can freely use the present template for your final thesis (i.e. master or bachelor or project thesis).
-It is not mandatory at all to use this template for your final thesis.
-It is just a suggestion! You are also allowed to change anything you would like to change in order to fit your needs/taste/...
-
-License for your Thesis
------------------------
-The template includes a http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/[Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] license remark as suggested license for your thesis.
-We suggest you keep this license although you are free to choose a different license.
-
-License for your Implementation
--------------------------------
-For implementations you write as part of your thesis we recommend to use a different repository and license this code under an Open Source license like GPL-3 or Apache.
-When choosing a license for your implementations keep in mind that containing/modifying previous implementations licensed under GPL-3 requires you to use GPL-3 for your code as well.
-
-It is common to indicate the license of your code via a file called LICENSE in the folder of your repository.
-If such a file does not exist already, GitLab displays a button "Add LICENSE" where you can select from common licenses as a template.
