Katie,

Hope you find my modifications to your script useful.
Would you be agreeable to applying the Apache 2 license?
All that would be required would be to include this at the top of the script:

# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0

I have already done this to my version, but unless you do the same I cannot publish that change.

Thanks,
Mike
