A fork is when developer(s) take the source code from an open source project and start independent development on it. In this case, since Apprentice Harper was no longer going to be working on DeDRM, noDRM created a fork and continued development of the project. The forked version has added some DRM removal options, fixed some bugs and added the code to allow using the project on Python 2 (older calibre versions) and Python 3 (calibre 5 & 6).

To quote from Apprentice Harper's GitHub site:
Quote:
I have not had the time to devote to this project in recent years that I would have liked. I am delighted to find that someone else has taken on the task of keeping the tools updated, and making releases. I shall be using noDRM's version of the tools from now on.
