RULES FOR COPYLEFT

This poem began on the day after Thanksgiving, 2007.
One quatrain is added daily, for as long as possible.
It's okay if I skip a day or two, I can catch up.
I will not revise any words or quatrains.
Quatrains are added at the top, to keep myself interested.
Whatever I add may be copied, modified, and redistributed
by anyone, as long as the same conditions apply
to any copied or modified version.

If I'm no longer able to add quatrains,
I would ask that whoever is interested
generate a number of quatrains
equal to that of the extant text
using a Markov chain generator (see here)
with an order of 2
(or with whatever settings seem appropriate),
and using the extant text of Copyleft
as its source material.
The text thus generated
may be divided into quatrains
according to whatever principle.
I would ask that this "other half"
(or "halves" if there are more than one)
of the text not be thought of or placed
in a spacial relation to the half I wrote
(i.e., not above, not below, not alongside, etc).
