The Fork Covenant / Rules
1. Upstream Governance
Forks are operational subunits recognized by the Board. GOBITSNBYTES FOUNDATION is the upstream steward. Forks have no independent legal personality.
2. Centralized Financial Routing
All funds must route upstream to GOBITSNBYTES FOUNDATION. Local bank accounts, personal UPI IDs, or cash collections are strictly prohibited.
3. No Unapproved Representation
Fork Leads and Maintainers are local facilitators and do not hold statutory authority, directorship, or the power to bind the Foundation legally.
