And misleading.

Also, what's up with all the junk in readme? The project structure, random stats, tables. How bloating readme should help?

upd: Okay, there is a tiny disclaimer that the project is vibe-coded.

The licensing information is very conflicting

Same for software, the comparison table says MIT, other parts say GPL v3.

Also the whole concept of exam mode which is in any way effective seems contradictory with GPLv3. Any hardware means which would limit the ability to use modified version of software would violate GPLv3.
