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 !!!

The Mono proponents complain about licence compatibility. Gnote is GPLv3 (or later).

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"?
There's no guarantee that writing the truth will result in an audience (or readership), but over time - in the long run - people generally gravitate towards what they know or feel to be crude truth, not just what's comforting (albeit false or self-deluding, usually groupthink dictated from above)
Democracy depends on free press and freedom of the press depends on being able to safely publish (and keep available) material that bad people don't want to be known to anybody
The Web is really getting bad; it's also overwhelmed by fake material or plagiarised material, wherein the plagiarism gets disguised/hidden by LLM sausage factories
