README.md is NOT what is supposed to be read to understand.

Never said that especially in that terms. Anyway, if an AI can
understand, you can also.

If this is not enough, keep it for yourself. Or dare putting at stake
your reputation.

By the way: learning courses are usually charged $3000/day, usually
independently of the number of few participants. And it is totally
ethical because the opposite would mean that you have the right of
criticising people just for fun or to exploit a value trying to sell
your compiancy.

And it is public, clearly stated and reasonably explained. Even for
those who were born yesterday and did not have any clue how we managed
to drive the open-source software-libre up to the point of serving the
98% of internet/IT world wide infrastructure: teaching others for
money and being paid to write and share solutions.

Which is the main reason for which universities as medieval (*)
institutions surclassed the religious monasteries network in sharing
and evolving culture.

* at that time (1000-1100 a.C.), it was not anymore dark ages but
higher middle-era eight centuries before industrial revolution.
