I'm not sure I follow your logic, but if it helps clear anything up, I did emphasize that this was an old story, like twice. I am also aware that Qt is GPL now, and that GIMP has hundreds of forks.

I don't think you really mean this literally. Hundreds of forks... :)
333!
None of which really compete, but yeah, literally hundreds. Just one big one though, GIMP Painter.

You are looking at the wrong number :) That's the total amount of forks on GitHub. Whereas only 15 of them had any commits by people who forked the repository. Among those 15 people:
- One is a regular GIMP contributor.
- One couldn't wait another day for a macOS build of version 2.10.12.
- One patched file association on Windows and submitted his patch to the upstream project.
- Some of the others worked on their pet peeves, and some of them discussed it on the upstream bug tracker.
You might want revisiting your definition of a fork :)
Sure. I'll agree with your definition then!
*Ah, what the fork! I just realized you're a GIMPer. You think that thing I said about the 1998 drama is what inferiorhuman was referencing?

Yeah, I thought you did just that. Wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong, of course.
