#3This person does not actually seem to be sorry? (I am not--at least right now, with what little I know about the situation--saying this person should be sorry... but, I read this entire thing, and it doesn't really come off as a legitimate apology, which makes the language awkward; it feels more like an explanation about why they feel justified in their actions and how, at most, they are conflicted internally due to how those actions undermine their own stated beliefs... but not that they are exactly sorry about the action itself.)

#4From the title, my guess was this was going to be an interesting case of someone publicly admitting a mistake, in some lesson we could all learn from.
Instead, the title functions as a clickbaity hook, to promote the fork that the author is ostensibly apologizing for making.
(I don't know whether the fork is good, bad, or neither. Just, probably I should've guessed what the most likely meaning of the title would be.)

#5forking is not a bad think, you don't have to apologise for doing that.

#6I understand it like this: the author is sorry he had to fork the project instead of supporting the main project. But also sorry that he saw no other option.

#7This takes me back to the first time I read the word sorry that was not an apology, but rather an expression of regret or sorrow.
> There was further debate over the exact meaning of the Chinese translation issued by the U.S. Embassy. A senior administration official was quoted as saying "What the Chinese will choose to characterize as an apology, we would probably choose to characterize as an expression of regret or sorrow".[32]

#8> I’ve yet to encounter a tech company that isn’t built on the foundation of free and open source software.
I have worked at two companies which have not built on open source software at all, both companies which built a product from the ground up that has not existed before. There are a few open source libraries used in peripheral parts of the codebase, but the money-maker codebase was, both times, powered by proprietary compilers and not much else.

Yes, that's it. English is not my mother tongue, so I apologize if it wasn't taken that way.
