 Since there is no educational purpose in using Hello, Dolly! in this
 module, nonprofit is irrelevant.

 The plugin itself, is a Example plugin, as such, It's an educational tool.

 You can replace the Lyrics with any other Lyric or Text, and the plugins
 purpose remains the same, to educate new developers on how to hook into
 WordPress, Style their output, and for the new to PHP, how to handle &
 shuffle arrays to start with.

 Of course, The Example plugin can be used for inspirational purposes as
 well, But hey, So can certain catalogues. Everything has a primary purpose
 to which it was designed to do over all others, and in this case, It's a
 Demo Plugin.
