I have been on this list for a while and the one that stands out is the 
rml one at http://openreport.org and none others, so I am not sure what 
other forks you mean.  But, as far as openreport goes it is not an issue 
as far as being a fork, or derivative, if it really is, which I don't 
think it is.  All I have seen discussed is the fact that the author was 
unresponsive, along with their list, and people often come to this list 
looking for help which we really can't offer.

Do you have a specific example of a project you want to use?
