My understanding is that Olaf wanted the huge iotivity patch broken into lots 
of little patches, which never got done.
So the reimplementation of coap-over-tcp by others exposed a slightly different 
API surface, and got accepted.

I don't know the history behind the forks, was there something we needed that 
we could not get accepted by Olaf?

I think I've rooted out the problems with Linux building the "upstream"
(dthaler) fork so we should be good to go with experiments, at least.
