Do you understand that GNU got started by copying Unix?
You can copy a product without violating copyright, although there have been several court cases on this topic.
- DasIch 11y agoOf course you can copy the product as such, that's fine by me and I think even necessary. They've gone far beyond that here though, copying not just the product but significant parts of the design. The Quitter thing looks almost exactly like Twitter. If they'd copied the website of a bank like this, it would be considered phishing. This is well beyond copying an idea or a few design concepts.
- calgoo 11y agoI thought they where just using bootstrap which was created by twitter. I'd say 50% of the web looks like twitter today... EDIT: OK, I take that back... After looking at some of these sites, some have really copied the design waaaay to much.
