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.
