> Most forks mention their origins somewhere in their bio
Ok, does that make forks who don't mention where they forked from rips? Huge leap in logic.

Well, if you're interested in the origin you either look for information available in threads like this, where other people dig or you dig yourself. Not sure what the problem is. Someone published a library under MIT, another person forked that library and created a new one, also under MIT, and somehow the fork is now a rip? Give me a break
