(S)he gets to hold onto her/his own version. If there is enough power
behind both variants, a fork might happen.
Forks are not bad per se -- on the contrary, the variants can explore
a wider area of design space. If they stay sufficiently open, they later
steal ideas (and even code) from each other. Think genetic algorithms on
a global scale ;-)
But now it's definitely off-topic, so I'll shut up already.
