+Description: Remove overreaching citation notice
+ Quoting the gpl-faq:
+ .
+ > Does the GPL allow me to add terms that would require citation or
+ > acknowledgment in research papers which use the GPL-covered software or its
+ > output? (#RequireCitation)
+ > .
+ > No, this is not permitted under the terms of the GPL. While we recognize
+ > that proper citation is an important part of academic publications,
+ > citation cannot be added as an additional requirement to the GPL. Requiring
+ > citation in research papers which made use of GPL'd software goes beyond
+ > what would be an acceptable additional requirement under section 7(b) of
+ > GPLv3, and therefore would be considered an additional restriction under
+ > Section 7 of the GPL. And copyright law does not allow you to place such a
+ > requirement on the output of software, regardless of whether it is licensed
+ > under the terms of the GPL or some other license.
+ .
+ Therefore, removing this to make parallel GPL-compliant.
+
+ While I agree with the GPL FAQ I found the following change inside the
+ code while refreshing the patch:
+ .
+     # Before changing this line, please read
+     # https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/parallel_design.html#Citation-notice
+     # https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parallel.git/tree/doc/citation-notice-faq.txt
+ .
+ Thus this patch is again up for discussion.
