Well done, it’s a fascinating topic - so much so I’ve somehow ended up buying three different revisions of the book 🙂

Just noting that D&R assert all rights over their code, _formulas_ and _calendar data_ and grant a license for personal use only.

I would propose you note this in both your packages in case someone accidentally believes the libraries can be used in commercial software without a specific license grant from D&R.

Thank you for your kind feedback and your suggestion!

I integrated the text that was used for the calcalc package ([GitHub - ferd/calcalc: Calendrical Calculations; Erlang port of Dershowitz & Reingold's algorithms. · GitHub](https://github.com/ferd/calcalc)) into the README.md files of my pakages.
