Fork me? Fork you!

"Bork, fork, bork, fork, bork, fork! Sounds like the Swedish Chef on a rampage :) Seriously though, the only rampaging I can see right now are the reactions of both the proprietary companies and open source advocates.

"The scenario goes like this. Open source develops a popular project. Proprietary company buys it out. Open source worries what proprietary company will do with open source project. Proprietary company assures open source that nothing will change. Open source applauds proprietary company. Proprietary company scales back on open source project. Open source complains. Proprietary company cuts communication. Open source becomes angry and now hates proprietary company."
