Linux kernel maintainer allays fears about forking

| Intel is believed to the top contributor to the kernel and its contribution

| The only remote possibility of forking would be if a group of organizations
| controlling about 40 percent of the kernel joined forces and decided to fork
| it, Morton said. He stressed he sees no chance of that happening.
