> Finally, I am legally obligated to inform you that I used GNU Parallel to scan all the wheels
FWIW, this is tangential to this awesome article, but if the author is here or anyone else who cares: that statement isn’t true, you are not legally obligated to mention GNU Parallel. It is nice to do though! The link even says this explicitly, and also separately mentions the citation notice is only asking for scientific paper citations, not blog citations. I love parallel, but boy has that citation notice thing caused a lot of confusion over the years.
The citation notice thing in parallel is not a contractual obligation either; the link explains that it is not required (nor allowed) by any version of the GPL.
