Let's define 2 new word replacements to the word "ripoff". code fork - a new project based on parent project, that no longer maintains active contact with it's parent. (like Qemu/VirtualBox) ...in OSS world later unification into one is possible. (like EGCC and GCC)
code branch - a new, derivative project based on parent project, but the new project being rebased on the parent project on every release. (like RHEL/Fedora, or VMlite/VirtualBox, or Novell OpenOffice/Sun OpenOffice) the term "ripoff" in my understanding is code branch, that not introduces new features, but only branding. (like CentOS/RHEL) Do you agree on such definitions ? -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
