We reserve the right to decide whether a mod counts as a fork or
reimplementation of the mod that owns the name.
### 3.3. Reserved namespaces
A reserved namespace is a prefix to a package name like `abc_`, where any package names that begin with that prefix
need permission from the namespace owner to be used.
You can request a namespace be reserved by opening a thread on a package that uses it. A namespace must be in active
use and must be specific enough to have low risk of conflict - for example, `mobs` cannot be a reserved namespace.
The package must also be deemed "serious" enough to get a reservation - larger and more longterm projects are more
likely to qualify.
Mod names used in packages posted on CDB or the forums before 2022-01-21 are exempt.
List of reserved namespaces:
* `nc_` is reserved by NodeCore.
* `ikea_` is reserved by IKEA.
