The availability of the code doesn't mean that anybody can use it, that's why Open Source and Free (Libre) Software are two different concepts.

- da39a3ee 5y agoI did say "read". Clearly anyone can do that if you put it on github. I also think that if you put your code publicly on github you shouldn't be surprised if people copy snippets from it. But I really have much less faith in lawyers than people like you do. I find conversations about software licences intensely dull. I code because I love it. And yes, I do have open source projects, including one with many users. I chose MIT licence FWIW although i was certainly very tempted by the Do What The Fuck You Like licence and its ilk.
