Is this for real? Why? What about the license? Doesn't forking allow that to be changed?
Allowing Dolphin Pro to be forked?
 Geeks, making the world a better place |
Forking in the GitHub sense, which is to work on the code in your own repository, and then push the changes upstream to be merged.
But yes, this raises some questions. BoonEx Certified Host: Zarconia.net - Fully Supported Shared and Dedicated for Dolphin |
the push is merged to my repository or to boonex repository? Always remember that the future comes one day at a time. |
That means you will get an extra license (No real cash) for forking Is this for real? Why? What about the license? Doesn't forking allow that to be changed?

the push is merged to my repository or to boonex repository? You make changes in your repository, and then push the changes up to the BoonEx repository to be merged into the official codebase. BoonEx reviews the push request and decides to adopt the changes or not. BoonEx Certified Host: Zarconia.net - Fully Supported Shared and Dedicated for Dolphin |
I have downloaded forks directly from a repository on GitHub. Usually someone forks an application because they want to take the application to a new direction or the application is no longer in active development in a project that is open licensed under GNU or MIT (Which Dolphin Pro is not).. I am not familiar with GitHub so maybe you can lock a fork so that it can not be downloaded directly and the changes go back to the original application. Geeks, making the world a better place |
What the forking hell is forking? Your all forking confusing me with this forking stuff. Please explain forking :) |
Forking, like a fork in the road (having more than 1 path/direction) Ultra Newb reporting for duty. |
https://github.com/boonex/dolphin.pro/pull/46 - here's an example. Nathan forked Dolphin, made an improvement, submitted pull request and it has been merged into our repo.
Forking is what drives "social coding". You make a clone repository and offer your improvements back into the code. Great way to speed up development, fix bugs, and even make enhancement that are needed for your extensions, templates, plugins.
Forking doesn't have anything to to with licensing, per se. Heart Head Hands |
Well here is something maybe someone can "Fork". Try clicking on a Users Name in the Forum. |

Thank you for explaining forking, now I know your not all swearing I feel enlightened :) |
Am so happy you are moving in this direction and i believe the software will become even better. |
