[Slackbuilds-users] forking SBo

[King Beowulf]

I would rather not see a fork at all but see what the admins come up
with and work within that framework.  One of the drawbacks of F/OSS is
fragmentation and forks from every tom, dick and harry and various
fanboys having some fit because the admins don't work fast enough,
some pansy-ass disagreement or whatever. A fork can be a good idea
(e.g. Libreoffice) but in SBo's case - no.

Of course, we are all free to start our own repo, however, in terms of
SBo I'd like to see more consolidation, not more fragmentation.

Should a fork occur, I will adjust the licenses of my scripts to be
SBo specific.
