Re: I suppose I'm being dumb about GPL but
Someone posted this on HN and the supposed author commented that he encourages forks and he evidenced this by the number of them on github and bitbucket, and also encourages commercial competition by advertising people or organizations providing services for his software right on the homepage. The issue apparently with these specific forks is that they are not following some terms of the GPL (not really clear on which ones) and are trying to undermine the authority of the original code, website and/or author on purpose for monetary gain and such. Something like a hostile take over I guess :)
