Open source allows forks.
MFH had been doing a mod like I had for a while. He's forked it which is

The main issue with the MFH stuff is it is directly ripping off both GH and
RB stuff (graphically) and trying to be a more or less clone. The original
FoF is trying to stay farther away from those issues.
