In software engineering, a project fork happens when developers take a copy of source code from one software package and start independent development on it, creating a distinct and separate piece of software. The term often implies not merely a development branch, but a split in the developer community, a form of schism.Free and open-source software is that which, by definition, may be forked from the original development team without prior permission without violating copyright law.
