Would it be possible, despite the licensing issues to resume development on it by the community, now that the source has leaked?

- tazjin 10y agoProbably not. Any fork developed out in the open would be targeted by Opera's lawyers.
- niutech 10y agoUnlike developing patches (eg. using `diff -e`), which do not contain copyrighted code.
- zymhan 10y agoSomeone stealing IP and publicly releasing it doesn't change the IP rights of the original owner. This isn't a game of capture the flag. People who leak a film before it is released haven't removed the copyright of the film from the movie studio.
- rasz_pl 10y agoyou mean like updating codec pack for example? : "Patch to support VP9: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/528850/14846609 https://paste.fedoraproject.org/528850/14846609 First, you need to update the firmware to 1.3.0 libvpx"
- sarcastic_cat 10y agoThat should be "You'll need to update bundled libvpx to 1.3.0 first". Please, don't use google translate.
- rasz_pl 10y agoIm sorry, next time Ill wait 2 years while learning language of my former occupant.
- sarcastic_cat 10y agoYeah. Except all of those patches are provided on 4chan with English (language of my potential enemy, i guess. oh wait, no, because i'm not an ignorant cunt like you) instructions. Or, you could've just asked.
- rasz_pl 10y agoah good old 4chan, that explains your disposition and social skills.
