This seems to assume that a developer has an obligation to install any change
that "is an improvement" and must submit a "justification" for not adding it.

That seems very strange to me.  I think any developer is entitled to
reject a change and does not have to justify rejecting it.

We can consider forking in any manner whatsoever.  Of course, forking
the free version of LanguageTool has a practical downside (more work
for us!) as well as an upside.  We might decide it is not worth the
trouble.
