I clearly understand that you don't get paid for creating this, that is not the problem. My mainly motive to create a fork is that I needed to change a lot of things about GS and that would not be inline with GS current development path, so just changing and giving patches would be insane.
As I said before, I could just change what I need and use it without ever releasing the code since that is allowed by the current license, but I'm a firm supporter of open source software, and therefor see no reason not to release the code. Though it is, technically a fork, one could just call it a new product based on GS code and philosophy.
I don't expect you to be here everyday, but would suggest that one of you would make a stop by often, and reply to any development specific question, if time allows, to usage questions also. It will help maintain a more close connection with the user base. If the team is small, ask for contributors.
As for any talk offline, I believe in complete openness, so any comment I make is always public and available for anyone to read and reply , that's why I created this topic.

Rejoice! For very bad things are about to happen.
