Hostile forking is the controversial practice of publishing a clone of an active #FOSS project against the author's will, without a different name and a clear attribution, often to compete or undermine the original project. Some consider it a form of exploitation and can harm the original project and confuse most end users.

Hostile forks may not meet the original quality and #security standards.
