I think it is a bit early to talking about a fork of IRAF, and in fact
talk of forking it at this point may well cause problems with the IRAF
community.

It appears that one of the IRAF maintainers has indicated that while
replacing the non-free portions is not a priority for them they would
consider replacing them with a contribution from outside the IRAF
project.

Perhaps a rewording of the task list to be less confrontational would
help with getting cooperation from the IRAF developers.
