Github forks are meaningless. Sometimes they're forked because people think it's the same as the "star" button. Sometimes it's to have a classy project show up

Github forks are meaningless. Sometimes they're forked because people think it's the same as the "star" button. Sometimes it's to have a classy project show up on your profile. Sometimes it's because you want to submit a PR. Sometimes it's because your company requires a software but isn't willing to use the public mainline.
