Anytime code changes from the base code of a project ie: developed or I should 
say changed and redestributed outside the standard project release tree I 
consider it a fork.   What do you consider a fork?.. Fred

"Certainly if an individual was stopped and accused of shoplifting after 
walking out of Neiman Marcus, they would expect to be eventually told what 
they allegedly stole. It would be absurd for an officer to tell the accused 
that 'you know what you stole I'm not telling.' Or, to simply hand the 
accused individual a catalog of Neiman Marcus' entire inventory and say 'it's 
in there somewhere, you figure it out.'"  Judge Wells, SCO v IBM,2006
