+=head1 FORKS
+
+The Mojolicious Core Team believes that there is a lot of value in the entire
+toolkit being a unified project. Forks drain resources from the original
+project, not just the mindshare but also very valuable bug reports and patches.
+Therefore we ask that you to please not publically fork pieces of the
+Mojolicious distribution without our consent. As doing so is against our express
+wishes, people who engage in unauthorized forking will not be allowed to
+participate in community sponsored spaces.
