This is an un-retiring request for QCad on Fedora

Could you comment on the current relationship of QCad to its fork
LibreCAD, available in Fedora from librecad.org?
I believe librecad was forked for licensing and/or maintenance issues,
so I am glad to hear that moved forward, but can you give some
background on where the situation stands now as to the relative merits
of both projects?
Are you saying that QCad cannot be easily maintained on Fedora?
Current relationship of QCad to its fork LibreCAD is not a pertinent
matter to the packaging for me.
I am not saying anything---I am asking this question to find out what
are the relative merits of both projects, since their web pages do not
directly make such comparisons.
The reason why I'm asking is that I believe that in general FOSS
projects should fork as little as possible, and merge as much as
possible, to avoid duplication of effort. There are circumstances where
the fork is the only solution, of course, and I am asking what are the
circumstances in this case.
