> Dreamwidth [is] what's known as a "code fork" of LiveJournal: the software that runs LiveJournal was free and open source software, licensed under the GNU GPL, which meant anyone could copy it and improve it.

Sounds like Dreamwidth is an entirely different site from Livejournal, it just uses the same open source code. How does dubious fanfic on Livejournal relate to the banning of Dreamwidth?

If that fanfic migrated to Dreamwidth, why not just say there was dubious fanfic on Dreamwidth?

From Livejournal to Dreamwidth? Did they bring the dubious content with them?
