FWIW, I'm among those who believe this is a serious error, and that the DFSG should be amended to correct it. Freedom to fork is a fundamental to free software, and requiring patches is an onerous and unacceptable burden on that freedom. (I'm not in a position to do anything about it, of course; I think only an extremely very well-reputed DD could hope to have any success in a GR modifying the DFSG, and I'm not a DD at all.) -- Glenn Maynard
