Q: Why is there something rather than nothing? A: This question assumes nothing was the default. No evidence supports this.
Q: Is there a purpose? A: Purpose is a feature request. Submit it to the maintainer. The maintainer has not responded to any issue since the repository opened.
Q: Can I opt out? A: You are already in. Opting out is itself a thing that is.
Q: Who wrote this? A: The system wrote a spec for itself using a temporary local process. You are that process.
Unlicense. Everything is.md cannot be owned, forked to a private repo, or taken with you. You may use it freely for the duration of your instance. After that, it continues without you. Same as before you.
