Hi Tom,Definitely don't want to redefine the term 'fork' as used in software development, it is well defined here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28software_development%29 I was responding to your comment in this thread. "Of course Star Office is still floating around somewhere but it doesn't bear much resemblance to LibreOffice or even OpenOffice. So it can't really count as a fork any more and may not even be usable at all these days." Which I thought was confusing - so I responded with:"StarOffice never was a fork, OpenOffice forked off it and then LibreOffice forked off OpenOffice. In other words it is the 'new' thing which is a 'fork' and the 'original' stays the original:)."
But I should have said:StarOffice which later became OpenOffice and then LibreOffice forked off OpenOffice. In other words it is the 'new' thing which is a 'fork' and the 'original' stays the original:).
