Sure. I can create a meta page with links to all forked pages.

I can go into it in a separate mail.

Now explicitly noted.

Done.

I hope I understand everything. These licensing stuff is quite difficult
for me.

New proposal:

**Legal**: The Introduction chapter of this website is forked from the
[Tails Trust wiki
page](https://tails.boum.org/doc/about/trust/index.en.html)
([source](http://git.immerda.ch/?p=amnesia.git;a=blob;f=wiki/src/doc/about/trust.mdwn;hb=d249db72228b498407d85fb762b49ec155871ded)),
which is copyrighted by [Tails](https://tails.boum.org/) and licensed
under GPv3 or later ([Tails license
page](https://tails.boum.org/doc/about/license/index.en.html)). The
changes are copyrighted by
[adrelanos](https://github.com/adrelanos/Whonix) and licensed under the
same license GPLv3 or later.

If there are still any complaints or enhancements please feel free to
make them. I am going to do anything to properly give credit.

Cheers,
