* When distributing any software that uses or is based on SlimeVR, you have to provide
to the end-user at least one of the original, unmodified [LICENSE-MIT] or
[LICENSE-APACHE] files from SlimeVR. This includes the `Copyright (c) 2022 Eiren Rain

one way to provide it to the end-user is to have a menu in your application that lists
all the open source licenses used, including SlimeVR's.
