With many freedoms come many responsibilities. The fact that you 
can fork the syntax and no one sue you for it (or actively try to 
stop you from doing it) does not mean that it won't harm your 
public image and overall attitude from some of community members. 
I think http://xkcd.com/1357/ fits the spirit here quite nicely.
