I am honestly confused by this line of thinking. what should projects do in your opinion? should there be a LEGAL-LICENSE and SOCIAL-LICENSE?

I believe that the legal is the "top-level" statement that sets expectations all the way down.

agreed that it is being stretched. perhaps a better metaphor would be not just opening the door, but building it.

I believe that is what the OP means by MLM (multi-level marketing)

A telephone technician that I worked with warned me against using these, saying that they are "lightning magnets." I don't know if this is true or not, would love to hear from someone else.

Awesome work!

Just curious: Why did you choose to take on the entire OS instead of building on top of an existing distro as a base?
