Reply to comment by jordigh: Wow, there is someone really angry and offensive here and not really telling the truth ... It is sad to see how often forks go downhill if they were purely based on ideologies and not with the user and general good for the project in mind. But anyway, we welcome and fully support everyone to fork our old GPL versions, the world does not need less but more source code management systems, especially since we lost now one of the key players in Google Code. |

As can be seen in my blog post and various talks in the subject, the Kallithea community faced two choices: a fork of only the GPLv3'd components, or a lengthy GPL enforcement battle with Rhodecode, who violated the GPL by changing to a non-Free-Software license for code that combined GPL'd software that wasn't copyrighted by Rhodecode.
If Rhodecode would go back to a pure GPLv3 model for its software and develop the software in pubic again, I think the fork could be easily resolved and we could all work together again. Thus, only one simple act of yours would resolve the fork entirely, sebastiank123, will you take that act?
Meanwhile, I'm sure the Free Software user community can make the easy and obvious choice between a community-run, developed-in-public Free Software project that complies with GPLv3 and a for-profit-corporate run, developed-in-private, semi-Open-Source project that has a history of GPLv3 compliance problems.
