> closed source Javascript codebase was taken The full Javascript codebase is downloaded to the client upon loading the original Wordle website, only code directly available to the client was ported over to GitHub. > It even contains the original 'Copyright 2021-2022. All Rights Reserved.' The copyright part has been updated to instead give full credit back to the creator of the original Wordle site (copyright is a very loose term when it applies to websites - derivative works are typically fine as long as source is disclosed, credit is given, and there aren't any advertisements/paid upgrades). > the privacy policy contains the original 'wordle@powerlanguage.co.uk'. That was a bug in the way I ported over the code, I accidentally included a Cloudflare proxy email that I must have missed, it's been updated now and thank you for pointing that out. > made open source under a different licence? Also using the same name? How is this not theft? This isn't a Wordle "clone" and doesn't blatantly rip off the original Wordle site (unlike many others), rather this is a direct fork of the original project. I have multiple mentions crediting the original creator and linking back to him (within the README on GitHub as well as on the website itself). The purpose of [redacted] is to ensure that there is always a version of the original Wordle site that will remain available for free. As for the licensing, I chose a license that would require anyone using [redacted] to give credit and disclose source, ensuring that all further forks and derivative forks would point back to the original Wordle site and would have to use the same license to continue the requirement of giving credit where credit is due.
