As far as I know, this forked client doesn't force you to include a fee. What makes you think that it does?
This:
FYI, this fork does not remove fees completely, it only relaxes the fee requirement algorithm. If it does not allow you to send without fee, probably very high risk of losing the coins exists. You can still send them using RAW transactions API, but i wouldn't go for it if I was you.
But maybe I'm misunderstanding, the wording is a little bit confusing.
I hadn't noticed that.
You're right, it is a bit confusing. Apparently there are still some conditions where the fee is still required by this wallet. That's probably a good thing, since all peers would just ignore the transaction anyhow, but I suppose it would be better to call this the "reduced conditions for TX fees" wallet.
