- pretendscholar 6y agoVolunteers do free work to make all of the language content so it shouldn't be.
- mannerheim 6y agoThat doesn't make it not copyright infringement. Either the volunteers retained ownership of the content they produced, in which case this is infringing on their copyright, or they assigned it to Duolingo, in which case, Duolingo's.
- pretendscholar 6y ago> so it shouldn't be. I specifically framed it that way so that the WELL AKSHUALLY crowd wouldn't say what you just said.
- monktastic1 6y ago> but isn't that copyright infringement And your parent comment specifically framed it to ask whether it is, not whether it "should" be, so the response to you was hardly a "well ackshually."
- rococode 6y agoTechnically yes, but they've been in touch with Duolingo's CTO and it seems like Duolingo is OK with it for now. https://duome.eu/copyright https://duome.eu/copyright https://duome.eu/blog/16.04.2018 https://duome.eu/blog/16.04.2018 > Durung the past few weeks I have been talking to Severin Hacker, the co-founder and CTO of Duolingo. To make a long story short: they do like the idea, but they need to own the domain [context for HN: original domain was duolingo.eu] and they're going to redirect it to duolingo.com so the old forum links will stop working in a couple of weeks from now.
- nojvek 6y agoThat’s pretty nice of them to see the value that this drives more sales for Duolingo. Most execs would shut efforts like this.
