分叉是社区中的一种分裂机制，通常出现在自由开源软件领域。作为开放创新背景下合作的失败，分叉是一个实用且信息丰富的研究课题。对分叉现象的深入研究并不多见。因此，我们对来自流行的免费和开源项目的 26 个分叉进行了详细研究。我们创建了情况说明书，强调了分叉的影响和动机。我们特别指出这样一个事实，即对更大技术差异化的渴望和项目治理问题是冲突的主要根源。
Forking is a mechanism of splitting in a community and is typically found in the free and open source software field. As a failure of cooperation in a context of open innovation, forking is a practical and informative subject of study. In-depth researches concerning the fork phenomenon are uncommon. We therefore conducted a detailed study of 26 forks from popular free and open source projects. We created fact sheets, highlighting the impact and motivations to fork. We particularly point to the fact that the desire for greater technical differentiation and problems of project governance are major sources of conflict.
