I forget where but it has been said that it is legal and that is the reason
JOSM is now available via the store.

Yes, thanks much, James! (For linking "Reporting Infringement to Microsoft").
I do wonder if simply forking and charging money for existing open-source
software is an egregious slap in the face to OSM (JOSM developers, especially),
although I'm not an attorney. So, I'd urge our LWG /

You can only leave a review if you download the software.
Both are JOSM, one is a fork which costs money which goes to the person who
created the fork the other is normal JOSM which is free.

If choosing which version is "legitimate" (or preferred) is important, and
"leaving a review" is a (one) method for communicating that, I would underscore
that if you do leave a review, make very clear how one differs from the other.

Agreed but some do and currently both have one review each so it isn't that
clear which is the official OpenStreetMap editor.
Even a couple more reviews would help.
Thanks

On a windows machine do a search for Microsoft store. Then search for
JOSM. Download it then you can leave a review. The more reviews it has
the more it looks as if it is the legitimate version.
The other version which is a fork of JOSM is called OpenStreetMap
editor and has a JOSM screen
Link(s)?

It might be helpful if JOSM had a few reviews to make it stand out
