"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.

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 ;-)
