Licensing was an example. Packaging guidelines covers a lot of other 
cases. I think you have already been told that the multiple packages 
with the same source base is not allowed and I have already indicated 
why. Let's not go in circles.

Separate forks are clearly permitted.  The intention with a fork is that 
code bases have clearly deviated and being conveyed to users while a 
patchset produces friction. I don't know whether it is likely in your 
case. You will have to present an actual review request or ask FESCo.
