The GFW is advanced enough to do automated blocking based on content. People could keep forking and those projects would keep getting blocked automatically.

Yes you could change wording up, but then you run the risk of either obfuscating it too much that users of the program don't how to find it, or the government updating filters to block the changes content also.

Groups with real desire to circumvent the GFW have other ways to do it. I've been use ssh tunnelling for almost 15 years without major issues.
