Forking ACF is not the issue, automatic is perfectly within their rights to do that. Hijacking the ACF WordPress.org page and having everyone who uses WordPress.org for plugin updates to auto update to the fork is the problem.

> Hijacking the ACF WordPress.org page

is it a hijacking, if they own that page in the first place? The community placed trust on that owner of the page to be impartial, which was shown to be false here of course.

This means that this community page/list should no longer be trusted, and an alternative be sought out.

GPL. All WordPress code is GPL and plug-ins need to call WP APIs to register themselves with the CMS.
