Oh, I’m sure they considered that all right. Everybody with any experience
of Free Software can recall famous instances of project forks -- both ones
which ended well, and ones which didn’t. They’ve always known that those
who disagreed with some of their decisions could fork their code.

It’s certain users (of whom we see too many examples right here on Usenet)
who don’t seem to appreciate this point. And who get continually surprised
when it is pointed out.
