That fork has been mentioned on some wwrd-issue and seems pretty active the last few months. The problem I see is with the following commit changing the license of the project:

jessiepathfinder/ikvm@3d905b0

Is that even legal, removing the former license and copyright holders, most likely without their permissions?

Hmm, there is to take into account the previous license which describes the copyrights of all authors, including Oracle - it is not legal to delete the code of the old license without written permission.

So let's simply come to the conclusion that this fork is NOT of interest because of the licensing issues.

Just for reference, the licence changes has been discussed in the mentioned repos as well:

jessiepathfinder/ikvm#3
