Heya,
I don't mean to annoy you but could you elaborate on why and how redistribution of the project is banned?
From what I can gather this is about preventing forks.
Now the wording makes it sound like this is intended to strictly forbid copycats or fakes that would perhaps monetize, rebrand or add malware while copying the code one-to-one or even impersonating this project.
But it also seems to lock-out credited forks.
So my question is whether the project is completely closed to derivation and contribution, with even components of the code being protected.
If so, and you would like for this to be your own code only, then thats fine. I would just like to know the intention here.
