Because there are 2 forked versions.
Some people might want to stick with the original, and others might
to use the new one.
I thought that the original mosix.com development might be closed from
now on, but that doesn't seem to be the case. So, I figured it might be
easier to just distribute a new version.
Currently, only the kernel patches are different, but I expect the userland
tools to start differing in a couple of months, and they would then be
2 different projects. openmosix aims to be a separte clustering effort with
its own direction in the future.
