How would a user know which platforms they are able to send contributions to? Is there some kind of contribution hierarchy with PD at the top and proprietary at the bottom? Should there be a registry somewhere?
Where is the average contributor to OSM is coming from? Some will have heard that name somewhere on the net, in a Podcast on TV or in a Newspaper.
I think a fork will have to go the same way: establish itself, geting their name into the media, getting the people talk about them. I don't see OSM in the responsibility to list forks prominently on osm.org. A fork should fight for attention just as osm did in the past, not just because it would be fair but also to prove that there is actually a benefit that makes the form more useful to contributors and end-users in comparison to osm.
