The LGPL does nothing to prevent forking. In fact, if the LGPL is adopted, 
it will likely CAUSE a fork, in the same way that SSH, Inc. caused the
OpenSSH project to be started when it stopped licensing its code under
an open source license.

I happen to agree. This is why adopting an FSF license would be a very bad 
idea.
