You still have it backwards. Risinger forked the project with a new code 
host and mailing list, but stole the name and and some data in the 
process and made the false claim that his fork was the original. It is 
not clear if he damaged anything in the process.

If Luke continues his original project, it would still be the true 
pyjamas project, not a fork.
