It seems to me he's not forking. He's leaving GNU.

That you intend to continue having a "GNU nano" doesn't change that. Just because it happened to be on your web space doesn't make it your project.

A project is first and foremost the people behind it. Not a hosting provider.

I consider you the fork. Without hostility.

Edit: I may have missed/confused the acting people here. I'm not sure anymore if my comment above really hits the nail on its head.

Nano has been part of the GNU Project since 2001, and Benno has been contributing to that project for years.
