The simple truth is, that projects are forked when the needs of the original application aren't meeting the needs of another group of people.
In the case it's the threat of patents. Forking is good. It gives a wake up call the the original devs and gives us users more choice !!!

Yes. Mono, a copy of Microsoft's .NET, does more harm than good.

Oh god forbid people use & program what they want ...
If you fuckers would waste less time with trolling the internet but actually start to create something perhaps then you could decide what language is used to program it. Till then just stfu, thanks.

I am here writing an analysis. How is that "trolling"?
Alyssa Rosenzweig is the graphics witch behind the reverse-engineered drivers for the Apple GPU. She previously led Panfrost, the free drivers for Arm Mali GPUs powering devices like the Pinebook Pro. She graduated in 2023 with a Computer Science degree from the University of Toronto and now writes free software full-time.
Now we have a project started primarily by Red Hat (and managed by Microsoft GitHub, which is proprietary) being managed by Microsoft and primarily serving Microsoft and IBM
