The swift evolution process seems to be very well thought of a covers most of the criteria that I found to be necessary and useful.

Is this something you would support ? And if you are willing to grant these rights to another community, would it make sense to make it explicit through a creative commons attribution [1]?

Hi Heiko,

The Swift evolution process draws inspiration from many other projects and communities, which means that its ideas are probably not novel.  Further, our intention is for Swift and its community to make as big an impact as possible, so feel free to use or adapt the process as you see fit.  Several other communities appear to be learning from swift-evolution, and I think that’s great!
