At least it is not OK for a state to prosecute or expatriate people
because of their opinions. So this "right" does not apply to every
group. I'm not sure whether it applies to any group at all.

Right. But I was talking about free software development communities
in particularly (and, one might imagines, other other similar
communities). Obviously, you can fork a free software community in a
way that you cannot fork a state. I don't think the two are comparable
in this regard.
