<p>There is confusion here with the term <code>Hyperledger</code>.</p>

<p>Hyperledger is a Linux Foundation consortium of multiple open-source enterprise blockchain technologies (unrelated to Tangle). It includes:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>Hyperledger Fabric</code>, contributed by IBM (and not a fork of anything)</li>
<li><code>Hyperledger Sawtooth</code>, contributed by Intel. Also not a fork. Both are Apache 2 licensed</li>
<li><code>Hyperledger Burrow</code> an Ethereum VM (EVM) compatible blockchain (also included in Sawtooth)</li>
<li>other block chain technologies and tools</li>
</ul>

<p>So you can see there is no forking--these are independent platforms with independent code bases (Fabric, Sawtooth, Burrow, Tangle, Ethereum).</p>

<p>The only relations are
- Ethereum and Burrow both implement EVM
- Hyperledger platforms are all under the Linux Foundation Hyperledger consortium, but are independent platforms and code bases.</p>

Tangle is alternative distrubuted database design to Blockchain, it's got nothing to do with Hyperledger as far as I know.

<p>I read as if HL Fabric was the most interesting thing ever created on the use of blockchain, but when I read the documentation (very short) about Hyperledger Fabric I came across some coincidences.</p>

<p>the install is very common:
<a href="https://github.com/hyperledger/hyperledger" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/hyperledger/hyperledger</a></p>

<p>but the documentation mentions "tangle":
<a href="https://github.com/hyperledger" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/hyperledger</a></p>

<p>but the blog documentation:
<a href="https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/</a> 
is equal Ether documentation:
<a href="https://ethdocs.org/en/latest/ether.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://ethdocs.org/en/latest/ether.html</a> </p>

<p>Does anyone know of any tool that I can compare the code of 3?</p>

No, they are not related at all. The Hyperledger documentation is not short. The Hyperledger Github project does not mention Tangle as far as I can see. The only similarity with the [Hyperledger documentation](https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and [Etherium documentation](http://ethdocs.org/en/latest/) is that they are hosted on [Read the Docs](https://readthedocs.org/) and look similar, the content is completely different. Hyperledger, Tangle, and Etherium are developed completely independently.

There is confusion here with the term `Hyperledger`.

Hyperledger is a Linux Foundation consortium of multiple open-source enterprise blockchain technologies (unrelated to Tangle). It includes:

* `Hyperledger Fabric`, contributed by IBM (and not a fork of anything)
* `Hyperledger Sawtooth`, contributed by Intel. Also not a fork. Both are Apache 2 licensed
* `Hyperledger Burrow` an Ethereum VM (EVM) compatible blockchain (also included in Sawtooth)
* other block chain technologies and tools

So you can see there is no forking--these are independent platforms with independent code bases (Fabric, Sawtooth, Burrow, Tangle, Ethereum).

The only relations are
- Ethereum and Burrow both implement EVM
- Hyperledger platforms are all under the Linux Foundation Hyperledger consortium, but are independent platforms and code bases.
