[TYPO3-english] Fork of Typo3 ?

[Dan Osipov]

Removing all mentions of TYPO3 from the code and design doesn't make it 
a brand new CMS. It's clearly obvious that the bulk of the code is still 
from TYPO3 core, and as such it violates GPL.

Design is not the problem - but its something that gives it away.
