It is open source. You are free to fork it if you don't like the terms for contributing to that repo so long as your fork remains open source, just as Apple did with KHTML, Google did with Webkit, and Electron and Brave did with Blink. If Warp were open source to begin with, people would have been free to rip out the things they didn't like in it and build upon the things they liked, benefiting the project that was forked to begin with because they can do that as well.
In theory yes. In practice a web engine is so complex you need a large team. Your fork may start out good, but quickly it will become so far behind everyone else that it isn't usable as a browser for the latest sites. Plus you won't hear about many security issues/fixes until you are exploited.
Unless you can find a large team willing to maintain your system a fork is something that is not realistically possible. As volunteers I doubt you can get enough help, but if you are rich you can hire plenty of developers who would love to help.
