I don't think that's quite right - Rebble has updated a number of these apps to keep them supported. As sibling commenter posted, the original apps are available publicly.
- mikepurvis 11mo agoUpdated themselves? Or accepted/hosted updates from third parties?
- Anonbrit 11mo agoUpdated themselves
- whyenot 11mo agoAre they still open source? If so, why does it matter who updated them?
- repeekad 11mo agoI think that’s the crux of the issue is rebble isn’t under any obligation distribute them open source, unless say the original app had a “copyleft” policy?
- micromacrofoot 11mo agoAFAIK the original apps were individually licensed by the creators... so Rebble would need to have permission before claiming anything for their own except in the case of explicit permissive licenses (like MIT). In some cases (copyleft licenses) Rebble would be required to make their maintenance also open source.
