I'd prefer that we remove this usage policy altogether. Goose is community-owned. Any usage policy for Block-hosted services should reside with said Block-hosted services, and not here. |

I agree, @maniksurtani. Are you reviewing this PR? If so, I'm happy to convert it from an edit to a deletion. If not, who is the right reviewer -- and do they agree? |

- The PR description states "Clarified the scope of the Acceptable Usage Policy" but the actual change is complete removal of the AUP file. Consider updating the description to accurately reflect that the AUP is being removed entirely rather than clarified.

@zanesq, I've removed the file in a new commit rebased on top of main. Also, I did a quick check of the repo: I did not find references to the acceptable usage policy anywhere else. The file was standalone and not linked from any documentation, README files, or other markdown files. |
