I recommend adding a LICENSE.md file before merging this one.

In your new paragraph, consider explicitly requesting the license choice, such as Apache2.0 or more liberal licenses, or GPL and GnoPL licenses.

So if someone wanted to fork again? Just come here and imitate the ideas?

The aim is to encourage positive competition. Forking is not just about competing hard. It's about trying new things in different ways. Forks can also work together and help each other.

We aim to promote a culture where forking, including forking from forks and subsequent iterations, is a viable option for anyone seeking to fix or just improve a current version.

It's ideal to have a core set of rules or a simple constitution that stays relevant for a long time, like 100 years or through 20 rounds of forking. However, we should also be ready for the idea that these rules might one day be outdated. This mindset prepares us for ongoing changes and growth. For the next decade(?), let's apply this constitution across our network of related forks, among a community of cooperative builders and members.
