I don't know the history of the development, and I'm instinctively against overreach by employers but considering both repos are clearly influenced by repos on similar platforms (eg Badoo), it doesn't seem unreasonable for Bumble to at least take an interest in their provenance and - if they have been developed on company time and equipment - their ownership.
- qwertyboi 5y agoPractically speaking, Badoo/Bumble doesn't go after EVERY OSS project written by an employee. MVIKotlin is conceptually the same as badoo/MVICore, and even Decompose is conceptually the same as badoo/ribs. If these projects are "eerily similar" and both were written on company time, the official variants (MVICore, RIBs) having been written by dedicated teams while the other two (MVIKotlin, Decompose) written in rogue, then what do you do? P.S.: Badoo and Bumble have the same owner, so "influenced by Badoo" is the same as "influenced by Bumble".
- StrLght 5y agoJFYI: Bumble and Badoo are the same company.
- mellosouls 5y agoThanks, I didn't know that, but I think it reinforces the point.
