Make sure the license is golden
i was under the impression that you're supposed to just keep the license as-is when forking a project, and any changes would need approval from everybody who has ever contributed to the project, but @decorator-factory pointed out that this isn't exactly true:
https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/7917 it could be changed to something like
MIT License Basedpyright Copyright (c) Basedpyright maintainers Basedpyright is a fork of Pyright, created by Microsoft Corporation and licensed under the MIT license. Pyright - A static type checker for the Python language Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. ..<rest of the file>
A fork is just a specific kind of a derivative work. Essentially, you're using code provided by Microsoft in your own work. So you have to follow the terms of the license: namely, retain the text of the license and make it clear which parts you borrowed
I think ...something needs to change, because we don't want to misrepresent this as being a Microsoft product
re-opening this for further investigation
