I think the advantage of a product like Argus which is backed by open source code is that Horst or others could, if they wanted, make the changes needed to accomodate their particular needs immediately while waiting for the Argus development team to add the same features to the mainstream product. That is not forking, it just temporarily bypasses the (unavoidable) bottleneck represented by a single centralised development team. With closed-source products, you can't avoid teh bottleneck and you just have to wait, and wait, and wait...
