The first nix fork has appeared: https://hachyderm.io/@jakehamilton/112355361353931366

Name is great, agreed!

It's going to be super hard to gain momentum, but I wish them luck. I hope they don't go forward with relicensing just to be "less appealing to companies".

Sweet! Love the ethos and the name is, in my opinion:

- a perfect name for a Nix fork
- a great name in general
- super easy to brand

I hope that they successfully build an auxiliary nix ecosystem which ultimately gets merged back and becomes the de facto nix tooling. Ironically this is exactly what they were accusing DetSys of doing (which I don't think is bad). 🙃

I genuinely believe that forks are a good thing, especially ones that create more net-energy put into things cumulatively. I just hope they remain collaborative rather than become adversarial (more restrictive license, intentionally break compat, etc).

Creating semantic money protocol no one knew they needed and building super boring products @superfluid.
