The internet is quick to grab the pitchfork but it looks like there's a different story here.
If you compare arkann1985's MVIKotlin vs badoo/MVICore it's an understatement to say it was "inspired by". It looks like an almost identical clone.
And as others have pointed out, it's not like Bumble is going after all of this guy's projects, just the ones where he was "inspired by" company work.
It would be difficult to argue that the projects in question would exist without benefiting from his employment at Bumble where the originals were developed.
- asddubs 5y agoso? it's apache licensed, so that doesn't really change anything
- whats-the-hype 5y agoIt does change the perception though. Compare "This company is taking away all the great inventions this poor developer came up with" against "The company is retaining those ideas which the developer copied from them".
- asddubs 5y agoif you don't want people to make open source projects based on your ideas, don't release them as open source. Bumble has just as little a right (morally speaking, not legally) to seize someones fork/inspired repo as any other open source maintainer does.
