Do we need to move away from Elm?

Is there a licensing reason why someone couldn't just fork Elm and come out with a new less-dictatorial leadership-driven project?

https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/blob/master/LICENSE

Actually, what IS that license? Is it completely unique and not one of the more standard ones?

The License looks like a modified MIT, with 2 extra clauses (the binary must produce the copyright, and the author's name can't be used to promote anything else).

Reading through the thread, others don't want to fork because it would split the community of an early language. They don't want to take Elm in a different direction, just bugfixes.

It's the three-clause BSD license with the words "the copyright holder" replaced with the author's name.
