+==========================================================================
+
+This file records where the Frame QR / Sythos Canvas QR profile symbology comes from, what governs
+it, and the basis on which this project implements and redistributes it.
+
+It is an ENGINEERING INVENTORY, NOT LEGAL ADVICE. Items marked [TO VERIFY]
+have not been independently confirmed by the author.
+
+
+ORIGIN
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+DENSO WAVE publicly describes FrameQR(R) as a proprietary QR-family
+product with a freely shaped canvas and dedicated generation and reading
+software. The public material does not publish the complete bitstream,
+placement or error-correction rules required for native interoperability.
+
+
+SPECIFICATION
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+DENSO WAVE public FrameQR material, including the product overview
+and the public announcement. The proprietary format definition is not
+reproduced here. This project implements the separate Sythos Canvas QR
+profile on an ISO/IEC 18004 QR Model 2 baseline.

+Specification TEXT is copyrighted by its publisher. The SYMBOLOGY it

+redistribute or excerpt any specification document.
+
+
+PATENT STATUS

+
+
+CONCLUSION
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The distributed implementation is the original, non-certified Sythos
+Canvas QR profile `sythos-canvas-qr/1`, not DENSO FrameQR. It reserves a
+bounded artwork canvas inside a QR Model 2 ECC-H symbol and does not claim
+native FrameQR interoperability. Third-party software cited here was used
