Maneage: clarified the definition of Maneage being a program
Until now, we hadn't clearly defined what we mean by Maneage being a
program. So viewers of the page could get confused.
With this commit, that old sentence was replaced by a new one written
by Richard Stallman in a private email (hence why he is the commit
author and Mohammad, who pasted it inside of 'index.html', is the
committer).
