My understanding is that the project forked into Compiz and Beryl, and has
now been disenforked (unforked? spooned?) into Compiz Fusion. I know this

My understanding is that the project forked into Compiz and Beryl, and has now been disenforked (unforked? spooned?) into Compiz Fusion. I know this only because I looked it up last night 'cause I had the same confusion.
