There is no infringement to OSD #3 at all. Authors are invited to fork 
as they want. Please read the license and see my previous comments on 
the issue. What I have meant is that wild unintended downstream forks 
will occur if many people will have to fork involuntarily if there is no 
proper maintained upstream project. The license aims to resolve the 
issue of wild involuntary forks which are not even desirable by the 
forkers themselves.
