As far as I know from the free and open source community, project forks mostly come from members of the dev team who disagree with some strategic decisions or the way the project is going on (see for instance the latest LibreOffice fork of OpenOffice). Since OpenCascade is not really an open source *project* (although it is an open source *software*), it is almost unforkable: skilled developpers are all employees of OCC, bug tracker/repository are only available to them, unittests are not public etc. Forking the opencascade kernel would exactly be the same that improving a car by only looking at its engine, without having any knowledge about how it was designed. It's something you can try, but you won't never succeed, and nobody will ever follow you unless you proved your ability to achieve it. Thomas
