A bit of reality check helps a lot....
The original software has a sustained SCCS putback rate of
2.5..3 modifications per day. The fork did have 63 modifications
since May 6th 2007.
This is why more than 100 bugs are not fixed and why the fork does not
offer the features one typically expects from such software today.
Using the fork means riding a dead horse.

The problem is that the fork is in conflict with the copyright law and thus
cannot be legally distributed.
The original software does not need the patch, so why bother?
