The fork of gcc (the GNU Compiler Collection) was a more complicated story:
Sometimes a fork becomes so successful that, even though it was regarded even by its own instigators as a fork at the outset, it becomes the version everybody prefers, and eventually supplants the original by popular demand. (Fogel 2005)
As a result of technical disagreements, some of gcc’s most active developers chose to begin work on their own compiler collection, dubbed the Enhanced GNU Compiler System (egcs). Their goal was to create the best, if not necessarily the most stable, compiler; they incorporated modifications more rapidly than the official gcc project, with the result that egcs came to be much more popular among developers than gcc. Realizing this, the developer community agreed to merge the two codebases, resulting in a new and much improved gcc. The fork disappeared, and a better software product emerged.
Forking constitutes an important judgment: the artist’s work has been deemed unacceptable, and an individual or group has decided to launch a competitive work. Thus, the critic is no longer limited to commentary but can intervene to impose his own artistic vision. Given the nature of creative production, the critic must enlist collaborators. Then two competing visions strive to convince the community of peers that their code meets the community’s shared standards of taste and judgment better than the others’. Sociological perspectives on theory choice in the sciences suggest that while such appeals to standards are made in the context of supposedly objective arguments for a candidate theory, they are more accurately understood as persuasive efforts to build consensus (Kuhn 1962).
