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.
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.
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.
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.
