I was going to comment about the licensing comment before but decided it was irrelevant, but since the discussion seems to have turned toward that:

OSS licensing has long been an issue, and it's a much broader issue. It is probably something that will never go away as there is no "perfect" OSS license. Even with the same license, two people will agree to that license but for entirely different reasons. It affects many more things than forks or competeting software. It's a shame, but it's just one of those things that we as a community have to deal with.
