What the hell do you need to do to respond? I regieters, but it won't allow me to respond. In any case it would sure be nice to point out that the GPL has done little more than any other open source license to discourage "forking". All we need to do is consider gcc/egcs and emacs/xemacs. I think the poster you linked to is just clueless or just mothing the FUD he's heard elsewhere.
