Translating the hyphens to parentheses may help - hyphenation is often used to represent spoken English when it contains several fragments chained into a paragraph such as this.

- mreome 7y agoUnfortunately, even with the clarified wording this explanation doesn’t say what I think it’s intended to. All the material in the repo is under copyright. A work licensed under the GPL is still under copyright, and the granting and enforcement of the GPL (mainly the requirement that derivative works are released under the GPL) is only possible because of that copyright. To not be bound by copyright, the copyright must be waived, and it’s still not entirely clear if/how that is possible (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Granting_work_into_the_public_domain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Granting_work_into_t...).
