Again? Wasn't the whole thing about Organic Maps to be a community-led fork of maps.me? So now we're at a fork of a fork?

I mean... Yeah, why not? That's one of the reasons FOSS is nice: people who are willing to maintain/contribute don't have to put up with a project going rogue.

  I'm not trying to imply anything with that other than that it seems the original fork seems to have failed in its stated goals of being the community-led, non-commercialized version.

    Yeah it's unfortunate. Allegedly Roman wrote those goals but the other co-founders never really went along with them.

Neovim is a fork of VIM which was a fork of Stevie which was a fork of vi which was a fork of ed, and it's the piece of software I use probably more than anything.

  Vim was not a fork, neither were other things on your list apart from neovim.

    How not? it literally took the source from Stevie and applied changes to it.
