I realize gogs is MIT license which is subject to easy fork. To avoid a fork when using such license, you have few options. One is fully feature your product, the other is expect your product to require domain specific skills that makes fork less trivial to move on; file format, data manipulation, etc.

So I wondered if original maintainer really wanted to avoid the fork, or simply don't care. It would be interesting to hear.
