G'day, I'd say most of those planning to jump ship did a long time ago - although some of them hung around a bit. I don't think any fork is going to be viable, even with the slightly unique licensing conditions in Australia. OSM has serious traction now, and is the place to be.
Anyway, yeah it'll be good to have some certainty, and something positive to work towards. It's been a dark shadow overhead for a very long time.
