    Someone shared this repo yesterday, which allowed me to understand the drama. It’s basically one guy in charge with connections to a military tech company trying to force them as sponsors (not contributors or donors) and forcing the current situation of power so he’s still in position to do so.

    Forking wouldn’t allow to use a non-free license, which is good, but it’d mean they could avoid being tied to a military tech company (or any companies) by changing the people taking decisions. That’s why they focus so much on that on the start page.
