Owner

The README's "Keeping up with upstream" section described an ordinary
fork that merges each upstream release (git merge v1.0.12), and
CONTRIBUTING asked for small changes to upstream files so the next
import would merge cleanly. Neither holds any more: upstream's v2.0.0
put code under a proprietary license, and the console no longer takes
upstream changes.

  • README: the section is now "Upstream". The console was forked at
    v1.0.11, nothing later is merged or copied in, and features worth
    having are written here. The Versions note no longer promises clean
    merges.
  • CONTRIBUTING: the same rule for contributors, and "licence" is now
    "license".

The README still described an ordinary fork that merges each upstream
release, and CONTRIBUTING kept changes small so the next import would
merge cleanly. Neither holds since upstream v2.0.0 put code under a
proprietary license and we stopped taking upstream changes: nothing after
v1.0.11 comes in, and features are written here.
