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,
