Hm I think this is impossible. If it's OS it's up to whomever get its
hand on it. Or am I mistaken?
Just think about GPL, it's open source, but you can't fork the code if you
don't release your changes as GPL too.
"I don't get it. If it is open source then is forkable. Period.
If it is a special case like GPL, it add some other restriction, like
you can't redistribute the new code without it being also GPL. You can
fork it and not using GPL for the new changes, the restriction is that
you can't redistribute it."
From wikipedia: "Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is
available in source code form for which the source code and certain other
rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a
software license that permits users to study, change, and improve the
software."
There's nothing about forking or redistributing here. I could make a
license that says: you can study, change and improve the software, but
you can't redistribute it without my permission.
"But the fact remains that it is forkable always. If you don't want it
forkable, then use other non open source license."
See above. You could "fork" it, but that wouldn't be open source anymore.
