CloudFlare was actually very encouraging. I emailed our internal open source legal mailing list and had responses from our CEO and Head of Product Strategy within 5 mins that were really excited about it. There was a brief concern about phishing, but that was quickly resolved. It was more difficult writing the blog post than getting legal's approval :P
- jgrahamc 10y agoNow, I'm hurt, James. I replied From: John Graham-Cumming Subject: Re: open sourcing cf-ui Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 07:15:56 +0000 This is fantastic! I am really happy to see open source stuff from www and would love to see this open sourced soon with a nice blog post describing why we wrote this, what the transition was like, what the components do. We've done a tremendous amount of blogging and open sourcing of systems level stuff and it's great that we can do the same here. Super to showcase all our technology. Really nice. But, oh, those guys reply and that's what you remember? :-)
- thejameskyle 10y agoYou weren't in that 5 min cutoff. And no excuses about being on the other side of the world
- kkirsche 10y agoWow, I'm jealous. Every time I've tried to get stuff open sourced at the company I'm with I get blocked by legal usually they just don't get what the technology is, like kernel bypass PF_RING network processor :( one day. Glad to hear you had a good experience though
- thejameskyle 10y agoIt may be that our legal counsel is too busy making dad jokes to care about me open sourcing some JavaScript.
- prdonahue 10y ago+1 can confirm
- IshKebab 10y agoI'm amazed that you even have an open source legal mailing list.
- JakeTheAndroid 10y agoI was shocked too, honestly. But we are always looking for projects we can open source, so it's very useful.
