He means here on the forum. Forks are allowed by the license, but discussion and support of them should be on their own forum.

Good to hear, so no technical irony, but rather a communication error, I'd guess.

I Emailed Robert and he said it was fine to Fork MicroCore linux as long as i went by the GPL Version 2 License

No-one ever implied forking wasn't ok, and there is nothing particular to Core about that...

I encourage you to read the whole article.

if at all this should be about pragmatic value, not about legalities.
i haven't had time to try it so I don't know what makes it more minimal or better or at least different than tinycore. important details would be what kernel and what main libraries and what aims the distro has in comparison to e.g. tinycore. what has been changed? are the shell scripts now much shorter? did you leave out lots of functionality, features, gaining easier overview and clarity when you look through how the whole system works? does it still use squashfs mounts and and ramfs as root?
just some encouraging thoughts of mine.

Rich:
Anyone wishing to discuss or ask questions about this distro can do so by visiting:
http://shellinux.us.to/
That site has its own forum. This thread is now locked.
