Re: Fwd: Wall Street article on a new Cooperative

Please explain, Brian.  I assume that Avalanche allows any amount of
forking within its code base/contributors.  I don't know that there's
any overarching Plan that is forcing Best Buy to follow Jostens et al.
on code direction.  Yes, it theoretically starts with a smaller
development base, but this doesn't change the dynamics of forking within
that community, that I can see.

But then, you perhaps spent more time talking with the Avalanche folks
than I.  Please provide more detail.

Because there is no right to fork.
