Episode 49 of Open Source with Fexingo explores the delicate art of forking — when a community splits from a project and starts anew. Lucas and Luna look at the 2024 Valkey fork from Redis after the license change, the 2020 LibreOffice fork from OpenOffice, and the 2017 GnuCOBOL fork from OpenCOBOL. They break down what makes a fork succeed, why most fail, and how projects like Linux handle the constant threat of fragmentation. No fluff, just the mechanics of community divorce and survival. #OpenSource #Forking #Valkey #Redis #LibreOffice #OpenOffice #GnuCOBOL #Linux #Community #Governance #Technology #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Software #GitHub #License #Sustainability Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
