The Maintainable Free Software Policy is an all-in-one policy that governs conduct, basic user freedoms, and LLM usage. It's designed to be a replacement for the Manmade Software Declaration, and was written by the same person (me!)

Nice, although you should update the LICENSE file, not just the README.md!

Maybe a more, known policy/declaration or such?

What better-known policy would you propose instead?

The license tells you to copy and distribute, but not editing it. You haven't edited the license, have you?

Nevermind, I wasn't thinking too clearly then, sorry. Out of curiosity, what do you mean by updating the license?
