A fork is simply an unofficial copy (which the CLL license permits), made in such a way that it can be modified, and the modifications eventually reconciled with the original, either part by part or as a whole. Anyone who forks CLL of course has to make it clear that it's unofficial. > If you are referring to some version of CLL after Robin's version, > you seem to have ignored what I just posted that you responded to - > that no one should be working on them in the absence of some > direction by the byfy jatna.

A change to the *official version* of CLL, which is not the same thing. I would encourage people who want to modify the language to accompany their proposals with suitably modified CLL text. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org Note that nobody these days would clamor for fundamental laws of *the theory of kangaroos*, showing why pseudo-kangaroos are physically, logically, metaphysically impossible. Kangaroos are wonderful, but not *that* wonderful. --Daniel Dennett on zombies _______________________________________________ Llg-members mailing list Llg-members@lojban.org http://mail.lojban.org/mailman/listinfo/llg-members
