You omitted the second half of the paragraph Bjoern wrote:

that roughly translates to

"However, if you try an own brand, a separate release and a separate
incompatible code line, then the whole thing is primarily a fork -- the
foundation of a foundation then is incidental accessory."

Just for completeness..
