9ba7fff94a Name explicitly some of the fora this Covenant applies to.
Of course, with an “including but not limited to”.

51ad66009e HBR interaction: Covenant supersedes, especially for confidentiality
The preceding paragraph clarifies that HBR infractions are not “read
into” this Covenant as violations.

However, a tangential problem is addressed herein: this Covenant must
operate independently of HBR, and when in conflict, the Covenant
supersedes.

ecf492e63e Interaction with HBR: special for copyleft-next
The HBR is a guideline but not a specific code of conduct or covenant
from contributors.  However, we should note this here for avoidance
of any doubt, as many may already see HBR as the CoC of copyleft-next
— even though it was never intended to be.

4b662a6b60 At this time, copyleft-next needs no customization for this section. 2026-06-16 18:11:38 -07:00
e7ab27fc77 Fix obvious drafting error: Managers ⇐ Moderators
This is the only place the phrase “Community Managers” is used, so it
could surely be “Community Moderators”

617f860050 A public Git branch adheres to requirements of §3(a)(1)(B) 2026-06-16 18:06:28 -07:00

cad33fcc99 Add Emacs local variables for editing.
While `(visual-line-mode 1)` is definitely not my style, the file
came to us with long lines, and maintaining diffs might work better
if we leave it in place by default.

1049db127c Add additional warranty/livability disclaimer for the project. 2026-06-16 18:06:28 -07:00
c0a2ff8749 Add explicit explanation of CC-BY-SA-4.0 adherence before changes.
In my experience, there is some confusion in the community about how
CC-By-SA-4.0 works.  For example, some consider it plagiarism to
repurpose works as permitted by the license.  Since my experiences
with such accusations, I always take great care to carefully list out
the methods by which a modified/adapted CC-BY-SA-4.0 work complies
with §3(a)(A).  I do that first and maintain it thereafter.

After all, bare minimum adherence to Free licenses is not what we in
the copyleft-next project seek — we seek exuberant adherence that
goes above and beyond to make adaptation, modification, and
improvement as easy as possible for downstream.
