Forks are not intrinsically evil; as I've always understood it, the ability to produce forks is supposed to be one of the _strengths_ of the GFDL and other free licenses.
Except that GFDL and CC tend not to interchangerble.
If it's not GFDL, then it is by definition not a fork of Wikipedia content. Either that or it's a violation of the license.

As I said true forks are unlikely because the initial bulk of material you pick up will be beyond your rescourses to handle. What you see are the result of "wikipedia has some coverage of subject X but we want to do it in a different way" sometimes this means more of it, sometimes this means original reseach and some times this means POV.
