This open source licensing allows developers and users to &#8220;Fork&#8221; the work, meaning they can take the source code of a project, modify, and redistribute it. Legally. In this talk, we look not at the technical side of Forking, but at the ethical side. We look at why and how to fork without violating the GPL or the rights of the original developers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-2405\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tBeyond Custom Post Types &#8211; Building an Organizational News Site with WordPress\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Prior to the development of the current Campus News site, there wasn&#8217;t really a public-facing news site as much as a static archive of press releases without rich content, pictures, seo, or any kind sorting mechanism.
