i just don't remember other cases where major
existing FLOSS projects
were forked
This is not about what is going in in this thread in any direct way. (Or
may
not be at least, I do not know enough to say I guess.)
What if I "fork" a project because I think it gives me a good starting
point
or base for what I want to do but the direction I intend to take things
will
result in a completely different sort of program to the one I forked?
Should
that still be considered a fork or is there another term for such a beast?
Would another term be useful?
all the best,
drew
