Not yet, because I made a mistake.

See the attached patch, which fixes the mistake (basically, when I was
writing the various LGPL rows, I was inadvertently thinking about
combine-compatibility, rather than link-compatibility, which is the

I don't know much about this topic, but, just a question: have you

supported by [pandoc] and it also seems to be supported by [Gitlab]...

[pandoc]: <https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block>
[Gitlab]: <https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/markdown.html#front-matter>
