IMO, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a fork. In fact, were I someone with some seroius coding skills and/or the resources to make it happen, I'd have forked the damned thing 2 years ago, and likely would have been able to migrate it over to a true OSS license (BSD) by now.

Tss, tss. You can't change the GPL license to anything that is 'stricter' or 'freer'.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.

Licence changes can be made... look at Cistron Radius. They started with Livingston's code, which was under the BSD license. Once their code had been completely rewritten, they did an audit and found that they were no longer using the original code base and made the decision to move to the GPL. Why they wanted to move to a more restrictive license is beyond me (and this thread), but they did it.
