Quoting Bruce Byfield <[email protected]>:
"Fork" is a free software term for a project that branches off from
an existing
project to develop the code in its own way. For example, LibreOffice
is a fork
of OpenOffice.org.
The term's been in use for at least 20 years, so I didn't think twice about
using it.
and the wikipedia entry is at least a starting point:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice

If 'fork' has now become a computer term -
[and I just 'searched' it to see] -
then just what is it?
Curiously wondering what the next word will be that will be
transformed by the computer industry ;-)
