They don't mean in a technical sense like a git clone. I would say they simply mean in the sense of being a copy. Clone is a synonym for "copy".
- lapcat 1y agoThat was my question, though. In what sense is an open source Github project a "copy" of a closed source App Store app?
- tTarnMhrkm 1y agoA person commented on my post and said "I will make an open source copy of this" and then proceeded to. Lol.
- kristianp 1y agoIt's a confusing question. Are you asking for a legal definition of the word "copy"?
- dpoloncsak 1y agoIn the sense that the intention of the open source project is to replicate (or copy) the function that the closed source app is providing?
