I guess thats a question you have to ask the forks author, however that started on the wrong foot when the first version of the fork changed the license and erased copyright data in the fork repository, both a violation of the GPL licenses, with the expected negative reaction from those associated with the project. After that was fixed, the forks author has talked about contributing back, but nothing has appeared yet. > > The reason of this question is that every time I see a fork I see a > (potential) lot of resource wasting going on... It depends on what the target of the two projects is, if they are moving in very different directions its probably better to fork than fight about which changes get accepted, thats very negative for everybody too.
