Why forking this license?

First, I wanted a clean Markdown version of the license.

Second, no matter how I trust the open source community, I feel it’s not best practice to:

1. Use a link that points to a licence written by a third party
2. Use licence(s) proposed by GitHub

If any changes happen, how do you know it's still right for you? By using scenario #1 or #2, you could put yourself in a position where you may lose the control of what the licence was supposed to mean at the moment you read it.

I believe everyone should fork the licence they want to use on their own repos. The one I use is here.

Understanding the license

2) Plain english explanation by the GNU's creator

Watch Richard Stallman explains the idea.
