UI" This isn't actually correct. Ext started as an extension to YUI to provide all manner of functionality that wasn't available in YUI at the time. So, to more more accurate, it's a hack (in the truest sense), but certainly no clone. “ExtJS itself was a ‘clone’ and a hack of Yahoo! UI”

I've forked ExtJS 2.0.2 in to a project named RooJS. Right now I'm replacing the images and CSS files. The images are easy, but the CSS files will need to be by shots taken in the dark until I get someone to document the files creating a clean room / chinese firewall. I haven't installed trac yet on one of my servers, but I've created a channel named #roojs on freenode. The goal right now is to make ExtJS fully forkable so a company can take the work I've done and do a proper fork. Of course the goal is to get others interested in the project.

Otherwise Google and Yahoo and other such companies that are known to use lots of GPL code will be forced to release all their code!
