Ahhh.... That explains why copying extracted kindle GPL source trees on shared ext3, using a windows copy program, often got stuck in an infinite succession of nested /alsa/alsa/alsa/... folders until it got a "path too long" error and aborted.
I did not make that connection until now that I saw your explanation.
Regarding helpful notes, I have often put the "theory of operation" inside the README file for smaller commercial programs (or an operating manual appendix for significant works).
But this is a hobby, so Theory of Operation is done only if the thing being taught depends on it (or on request, as in this case).
