This title is disingenuous at best, like saying that Oracle has forked MariaDB or that Debian forked Ubuntu.

- whatusername 16y agoThe article provides the authors reasoning for the title..
- warmfuzzykitten 16y agoThis isn't going to earn me any karma points, but the author's "reasoning" seems to be that the word fork has negative connotations in some circles, and therefore it must be Oracle's fault. If ever there was a tempest in a teapot, this Hudson-Jenkins thing is it. Oracle migrated its servers, cutting off access for a week, and the Hudson community exploded in rage. Accusations and insinuations followed. Well, now they're forked. Time to move on.
- andrewljohnson 16y agoHis entire point is that it's Oracle being disingenuous here, and the entire article goes on to explain that reasoning.
- biot 16y agoThe way I see it is that Oracle is continuing to develop the project under the Hudson name. The bulk of the community has decided to move the project elsewhere and continue development under a new name, Jenkins. Fair enough, they are parting ways. At this point arguing over who forked who seems (to this outsider) like the old Reese's commercials arguing whether "you got chocolate on my peanut butter" or whether "you got peanut butter on my chocolate".
