ForkForward¶
Open code. Moving forward.
ForkForward continues open-source libraries after their original line of development stops being open. We start from the last version published under a permissive licence, keep its history and its credits, and keep it building on current platforms.
- Developed with AI tools. Changes are written by AI coding tools and automation.
- Reviewed by people. A named maintainer reviews every change and decides what is released.
- Credit stays with the authors. Every project says which library it continues, who wrote it, and under which licence. Original copyright and licence notices are never removed.
- Independent. ForkForward is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the authors of the projects it continues. If you want their newer versions or commercial support, use the official project.
- Clean origin. Nothing is copied from versions released after a licence change.

Finding our repositories¶
Repositories are named <ecosystem>-<project>, in lower case: dotnet-, js-, python-, jvm-, go-, rust-.
Every repository carries the topic forkforward, a technology topic and a function topic. GitHub leaves forks out
of search results unless you ask for them, so search like this:
Suggest a library¶
Open an issue in the repository of the closest project and tell us which library, which version was the last one under a permissive licence, and what you need it for.
