    Can’t any point in Linux just be forked? So if it becomes like Microsoft’s products someone can just fork the preferred version and run from there no?

      It kinda already is a Microsoft project by Finance and each of them integrating the other’s systems more and more. Also, the highly paid world programmers are putting non-free blobs and highly complex code into Linux and at 40 million LoC, I propose it will soon be beyond the community to run a coherent fork without all the global code.
