Forking A WP Plugin

  • Hi!
    I have a plugin that I want to fork and create my own version. I know the that I can do this under the terms of the GPL, what I do not know is how. Here are my main questions:
    1. The plugin requires activation which sends the user through the original developers system. How can i remove the activation feature altogether, as my version will not require this?
    2. In which files should I look for links/references to the original developer so I can add my own details and change it to say that the new plugin is based on “XXXX”?

    Ok, so I have managed to make all of the name changes, edit references to the original developer, etc. Now I am just hasving some trouble trying to figure out how to completely remove the Activation api. I tried renaming the api files, but that resulted in blank white screen on my development site admin area when I loaded the plugin.
    Any thoughts on how to figure this out?
