So?  That's their right.  I don't foresee a fork being nearly as
successful, because they'll be struggling just to get together hosting
costs while WMF is able to use their millions in new ad revenue to make
everything a lot better.  Imagine all the improvements that could be
made to MediaWiki with a lot more paid staff ('What You See Is What You
Get' editing would just be the beginning).
