Yes, but follow these limitations:
* Always keep your fork at least as open and free as the original license. The more restrictive the open source license you choose for your fork the less willing a business entity will want to entangle themselves with it. That is why I prefer these licenses for my personal projects: AGPLv3 and CC0.
* Never violate the terms of the original license.
* Don’t compete with your employer.
