spork

The short-form of "slop fork"; an open-source fork that adds little or no meaningful technical value — typically a shallow rebrand, minor refactor, or AI-assisted remix marketed as something new. A spork usually keeps the core architecture intact while changing surface details (name, README, formatting) without substantive innovation or long-term stewardship.
