Why not? Would that be legal though?
- haunter 3y agoWhy wouldn’t? It’s open source Reddit is a trademark but that’s another story
- bentxt 3y agoI think the code is less interesting then the (graphic) design and some of the wording (kharma) that people are used to. And maybe further expressions like AITA or /r/whathever. How is the legal situation here I wonder
- hedora 3y agoThe old code that reddit published says you have to put a copyright on any service that runs the software, so /r/foo would be fine, and the bottom of each page would say something like “Portions of server software copyright reddit 2017”. I am not a lawyer, but that’s my reading of the license on that repo.
- nmlrqf 3y agoThe Trump forum has split off to patriots.win and appears to use that code. I'm using it as an example of a fork, not because I support any of the content. If they could shut that one down, they probably would try.
