Last time I tried it, running git-clone against our KDE git infrastructure still worked just fine, and thus forking is quite easy to do. Did this change at some point? I haven't tried running Github's git import tool since it requires an account, but even their instructions for manually mirroring a git repo (for use with private repos) seem easy enough: https://help.github.com/articles/importing-a-git-repository-using-the-command-line/ Likewise for Bitbucket: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/import-code-from-an-existing-project-259358821.html#Importcodefromanexistingproject-PushingaGitproject No one is arguing to *try* to make it more difficult to fork KDE or create derivative works... the "Trinity Desktop Environment" is still up and kicking, and others could be too with barely any work at all to setup the initial fork...
