About hierarchy, I would suggest you add a "legal" or "license" entry
at the top level. That might be an improvement over having it inside
docs, which is already very crowded.

Hm... a command line (usually) lives in a character terminal, rather
than a graphical window. However, the distinction between command line
and menu driven applications existed before the mouse entered the
computing scene. Thus the difference is not in the graphics.

The system architect provides a number of commands, that users can
invoke by typing them on the command line. Much like icons on a GUI,
that users can click on. The number of commands is limited by hard
disk space, while icons should fit on the screen. Some commands can
invoke other commands in turn, this begins to make a difference: the
set of available commands and their syntax becomes a (possibly turing
complete) formal language...
