Read the context on the mailing list, not the one message that has been linked. Nils started GPE as a part of handhelds.org. "We" need to do this, he said. That's why he was so eager to have it hosted there. If he had actually started it as an independent project, he would have hosted it on SourceForge, or Savannah, or his own server.
Not to mention the bizarre idea that the same project hosted in the same place must start calling itself a fork? Then again, it's also a bizarre idea that the founder of a project is expected to fork his project. Plenty of bizarreness to go around, and yet the article is completely one-sided in its viewpoint. Not exactly fair.
Perhaps the best solution is for both projects to rename?
