It's interesting how most comments on this thread have no issue with the fork, yet most of the comments on the blog post are very much against the fork. (Strange considering they are mostly from the WordPress community).
- 5hoom 15y agoMaybe it's because there's more of an awareness here of how much the developer ecosystems we all depend on are built from Other Peoples Code. From the languages & compilers to the frameworks & API's, every day we stand on the shoulders of giants who made it all possible (written on a machine running a commercialised fork of BSD).
- badgergravling 15y agoThat's true, but it's also the case that unecessary forking can lead to confusion and potentially damages both projects by splitting the support between them. After all, is it Open Source, or Free Software ;) (written on a machine running Windows, sat next to a machine running Ubuntu)
