if one was to fork ( new version ) of a gpl code ..
- can the new fork keep the original name ??
and since autofs is part of the kernel... it'd probably be a good
thing to keep it in good developement team so it can continue to
stay as part of the kernel
personally, i like the gpl licenses that require all updates
and enhancements to be put back into the originating source
vs spawning yet another variant

- its good that the iptables folks is enforcing their licenses,
that any derivative work needs to be open source too
