Using stolen code in an open-source project seems like a bad idea.
- EMIRELADERO 4y agoSomeone could still get the uncopyrightable ideas out of it though.
- aflag 4y agoSort of. There may also be pantents involved. It'll be specially hard to defend against it when your inspiration came from the patented code itself.
- BlueTemplar 4y agoAssuming code can even be patented, which generally it cannot.
- SXX 4y agoThen we can train FancyCodeGeneratorModel on it to bypass this unfortunate licensing problem.
- drekipus 4y agoDamn, that's not a bad idea, "convert this code so that it is indistinguishable from the source"
- plugin-baby 4y agoThat shouldn’t be too hard...
- metadat 4y agoDoes the USA care to enforce Russian copyright law anymore? For the near to medium future it seems unlikely to be a priority. Still not a solid foundation to start with, though. Solution: Take kernel of the idea and implement it yourself.
