The Will of D. License
Code license, straight off the LICENSE file in the theme. Long Stand Pirates (FOSS)!
THE WILL OF D. LICENSE
(as sworn upon the name of Nika, Joy Boy, Davy D Jones & Gol D Roger)
=======================================
Somewhere between Romance Dawn and Laugh Tale, this code washed up
in a barrel. You opened it. That makes you crew now. Somewhere out
there, an old man in chains is laughing about it.
GRANT OF RIGHTS (the Going Merry clause):
By reading this you are granted permission to sail, fork, splice, and
redistribute this code as freely as Luffy makes promises he has no
plan for keeping the details of. Split your crew up at Sabaody and
regroup two years three days 3D2Y later with a codebase none of your teammates
recognize, that is a valid workflow here. Modify it
until it floats like Skypiea, sinks like Fishman Island, or burns
like Punk Hazard's other half. Bring your own Vivi, your own Robin,
your own Nami, no invitation from the World Government required.
THE SANTORYU CLAUSE (forking, Zoro-style):
You are explicitly permitted to fork this repository into three
branches at once, wield them simultaneously, and still somehow end up
walking in the wrong direction on the way to merge. Every commit you
land counts as one named technique, and you are encouraged to name
your PRs accordingly:
- Oni Giri -- the two-line diff that ends the review
- Tatsu Maki -- a rebase so violent it takes the whole
branch history with it
- 108 Pound Hou -- a hundred small fixup commits, squashed
- Rashomon -- a merge conflict summoned from three gates
at once, straight out of Thriller Bark
- Ashura -- when you review your own PR from all nine
angles and still approve it
- Sanzen Sekai -- the changeset so large it splits the repo
into three thousand worlds of diff context
- 1080 Pound Phoenix -- deploying to prod on a Friday, ablaze
- Purgatory Onigiri -- the hotfix that arrives one commit before
the outage, sharpened somewhere in Wano
A true swordsman does not fear a losing diff; a scar on the front of
your git blame is a scar of honor, one on the back is a rejected PR
you should not have opened.
THE CLOSED-EYE CLAUSE (hidden power, gated):
Some functions in this codebase, like a certain swordsman's left eye
since that night in Thriller Bark, are sealed shut on purpose. They
are not bugs. They are Conqueror's Haki held in reserve behind a
feature flag, and they will open exactly once, at the one moment the
story actually needs them to - somewhere around Egghead, if the
timeline holds. Do not `git blame` the eye. Do not remove the
eyepatch early.
THE SOUNDTRACK CLAUSE:
This code is best read with a Binks' Sake hum in the background
Alabasta's desert wind for the quiet refactors, Fishman Island's
coral hum for the slow ones and a Yohohoho on violin whenever a
test suite finally goes green, courtesy of whichever skeleton is on
bass that day. Every crash deserves a proper villain-voice-actor boom
on its stack trace. If your error log does not sound at least a
little like Doflamingo's laugh, Kaido's growl, or a Zehahaha rolling
in from somewhere out at sea when it crashes, you are running it
wrong. "We Are!" plays on every green CI run, unofficially, in your
heart.
CONDITIONS (the Water 7 shipwright's clause):
1. If this code cracks under load the way the original Merry did
at Water 7, that is not a defect, that is a ship telling you it
is time to build a better one. No refunds, no Franky House labor
dispute.
2. Bugs found in production must be reported the way a Baroque
Works spy reports back to Crocodile: promptly, and without
revealing your true identity if you would rather not.
3. No teammate gets left behind at Enies Lobby. If the build breaks
for one person, it is broken for the whole crew until it is
fixed.
4. Should this code attain Gear 5 and rewrite its own rules at
runtime, that is between you and Joy Boy, not this license.
5. Should this code instead attain Conqueror's Haki and knock out
every lesser dependency in your `node_modules` without meaning
to, that is between you and Mihawk, not this license.
6. Refactors are permitted to run as long and as strange as
Dressrosa's toy-soldier curse or the endless halls of Whole Cake
Island, provided they eventually resolve.
7. No Road Poneglyphs, no Ancient Weapons, and no actual Laugh Tale
coordinates are conveyed by this grant. Keep sailing for those
yourself.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY (the Marineford clause):
THIS CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS," THE WAY A WORLD IS PROVIDED TO A CHILD
WHO WANTS TO BE FREE - with no guarantee of safe passage, no Ace to
shield you from a stray admiral-grade exception, and no Whitebeard to
declare it exists before it segfaults. Use at your own risk, on any
sea, Paradise or New World alike.
Inherit whatever will you like from this. It's a big, big repo,
bigger than Zou, older than a Reverie squabble. Get lost in it if you
must, like Zoro would.
Some legend lurks around, reading this site and this very license
more closely than most; a man marked with flames, said to carry
the fourth Road Poneglyph, if the stories are even true. Whoever you
are: thank you for reading this far. The rest stays a secret.
