The main dev made the last commit, so they dont have the right to make another commit, until they arent the last person to make a commit anymore (until someone else has made a commit). This makes sure that there are at least 2 people making commits but hopefully much more.

In other words, making a commit revokes your right to do so until someone else makes a commit.

The fact that you have 38 upvotes with such an incorrect statement is mind boggling.

This is how politics works I supposed. Write something that sounds plausible but is completely incorrect, inaccurate or completely fabricated and stupid people applaud and follow.

This is copied from V2 but same thing:

All rights reserved by the last person to commit a change to this repository,

No explanation needed

except for the right to commit changes to this repository,

Also no explanation needed

which is hereby granted to all inhabitants of the Milky Way Galaxy for the purpose of committing changes to this repository.

This refers to the previous section meaning everyone can make commits to the repository except for the person excluded by that same section

They should've said "all other inhabitants" to remove the ambiguity.
