Dear Mr. Yawning Angel,

Greetings and salutations. Based on your previous communication from the
7th of September, 2017, I have been preparing an updated release of
Orbot that includes the appropriate notices. I will also ensure all
relevant documentation on accompanying app store pages, websites, source
code readme's, and so on, are also updated to include proper attribution.

I appreciate your need to bring all uses of Obfs4proxy into compliance,
and expect for this to be resolved shortly.

With all due regards,

    Mr. Nathanial Xavier Freitas
