THIS.

I don't know if there is a name for this kind of user-hostile behavior, but I wish more people paid attention to it.

I agree. I especially like the idea of branching recipes, being able to find spicier, sweeter, etc. versions of the main branch.

Not to mention, branches containing ingredient substitutions considerate of allergy-free/religious/moral dietary needs.

Also pull requests for pork! SCNR.

Pulled pork?

I see a lot of people talking about Terms of Service being too long. This is a problem for governments as well: How many laws do you think apply to you right now? How long do you think it would take for you to understand exactly what you can and cannot legally do? Do you think the average police officer, or even federal agent, has a full understanding of those laws?

I hope that this is a problem that we can fix in the future.

Sure, we're covered by many laws, but also many rights--the right to fair trial, the right to legal representation, the right to petition the government, and so on. If a law is poorly or vaguely written, it can be challenged on those grounds--many laws are tossed as unenforceable.

But when you click on a user agreement, there's no negotiation or possibility of redress. Take it or leave it, and they just cut you off if they feel like it. The comparison to laws is nonsense.
