About MeshTerm: the page says something now

The three sections were placeholders holding a shape. This writes the
first one: what MeshTerm is (one screen for what the radio can tell you,
the five menu sections as a list, and the standing promise that nothing
transmits unasked), where it came from (June 2026, a few serial scripts,
grown by the recording; the mesh's scarce airtime is why it listens more
than it speaks; later the PicoCalc), and the licence — MIT, as the
package metadata declares, with the credit MeshCore and OpenStreetMap
are owed, the ODbL by name.

The layout is unchanged: title, standfirst, three sections, rule,
colophon. It just runs longer than a screenful now, which is what the
sticky headings and the section jumps were for.

Link targets also drop a leading www., so the OSM copyright URL reads as
the host it is rather than a subdomain nobody types.
