Open source software can be forked, that's how open source works.

To me, as an outsider to these projects, making the 32-bit version open source and the 64-bit version proprietary feels hostile.

How many years should pass until it doesn't matter if a fork was "hostile" or not and only open source software remains?

I think the author's wishes should be respected above all. Don't you?
