Forking is taking the original data, copying it and creating a new instance that is controlled by you, the forker. This allows you to add new features, make edits, etc - all without affecting the original. It is a new piece of software.
The various alternative versions of Firefox, like Icefox, are examples of this. They use a common base, but have their own developers and features.
