I think the parent's point is that you can't quite do "whatever you want" with it anywhere in the world, at least until Alex dies, because in some countries authors have inalienable moral rights that cannot be waived by any agreement or license. For instance, if you go to France and distort or mutilate Alex's work in a way that harms his reputation or honour, he will be able to sue you for it, and no possible license will waive his right to do so; there is nothing whatsoever other than commit suicide that he can do to grant you the freedom to mutilate his work in a way that harms his honour while in France.

that took a turn.

So the only way to make this truly "free" is for Alex to publish his work then take his own life? That seems a bit grim and too big of an ask. I'm sure this isn't what Breck wants.

Apparently there are similar laws elsewhere, except unlike in France, they apply perpetually. (As per Wikipedia/Moral Rights.)

Ok, so it seems the author of futurecoder.com has struck a nice balance. You can use it monetarily free. It's on github, so if you see something innovative, you can see how it's done. Even copy it to your computer. But can't do harm. What intentions are left for Breck? Straight up plagiarize into a new website called futurecoders.io? Does he want to humiliate? Mutilate? I don't know what Breck's point is.

  I'll also add that it has been copied and rehosted, with my help. There's a slightly customised French version here: https://futurecoder.forge.aeif.fr/ https://futurecoder.forge.aeif.fr/ This version is meant for maximum user privacy. firebase has been disabled completely so you can't sign up or login and nothing is stored online. There's also no google analytics. The code is in https://forge.aeif.fr/futurecoder/futurecoder.forge.aeif.fr https://forge.aeif.fr/futurecoder/futurecoder.forge.aeif.fr It's essentially just a mirror of the main repo with its own build process and configuration.
