To clarify, what I mean is WebKit continued while Blink became its own thing. Factually, Blink is not WebKit anymore.

Replace “WebKit” with Linux and Blink with ELKS.

    And webkit is a fork of khtml.

    Noone is arguing forks are "their own thing" but we can all agree they are all derived from the same base and have diverged from factors such as solviing different problems or simply different developer methodology.

    They're is no straight line. There are hundreds of linux kernel offshoots. Some are more tightly coupled with the main, some are highly specific to a single cpu architecture.
