Etiquette/rules for forking a package

[eliot-akira]

I wanted to fork the package @php-wasm/stream-compression to customize for my own purposes. (I used git-subtree to split it from the monorepo, and created a standalone repo for it that can sync changes from upstream.)

Reading up on it, I understand it's necessary for the forked library to be licensed as GPL2 and above, and cannot be re-licensed to MIT. (The opposite direction MIT -> GPL2 is apparently acceptable, but that doesn't apply in this case.)

Aside from the license and attribution where the library originated, is there anything else I should be aware of, to do this respectfully and according to community etiquette?

License and attribution will do the trick – thank you so much for asking @eliot-akira!

Thanks! If there's any change that seems useful, I'll create a PR to contribute back to upstream.
