54

55
+
56
+ Micro QR Code is implemented here from published descriptions of the format,

58
+ code or constant table from any other barcode implementation is copied or
59

64
+ CONCLUSION
65
+ --------------------------------------------------------------------------
66
+
67
+ This project's original Micro QR implementation is distributed under the
68
+ MIT License. Micro QR is implemented from published technical descriptions
69
+ and independent black-box checks; ECI, FNC1 and Structured Append modes
70
