I don't know man... I tend to agree with @recursive here. I think some of you guys aren't treating the poster fairly.
I can see why this would get some people fired up. It definitely feels a little gross presented in this manner. But... it IS MIT liscense. Nobody made the author release it this way.
He could have easily released the demo on his own website and not provided the code "without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies".
I'm glad people pointed out the original author, I just went and browsed his codepen page. But we have to assume he is OK with people coyping or even selling the code assuming the license is not breached.
- reitzensteinm 7y agoI'm not complaining about the existence of Outpan, or trying to mount some defense of the original author. I'm saying that links to this kind of aggregator have no place on Hacker News. What benefit is it to the community to have the authorship hidden and ads added? Talking about licensing is orthogonal to my point. Blogspam is totally legal and not accepted here. This is no different.
