Its not much different honestly, We are about to kind of I don't know fork throat I guess. We have pretty different ideas of what we want for a feature set, throat is awesome no question but the direction they want to take things is different from what I want to see here, but I'm pretty sure it'll still be open source, not sure if any of the setup instructions I wrote over on phuks will work.
Depending on their license, you probably can't take the code private - it probably has to remain open and available. I haven't checked to see what kind of licensing they used. I'd read that carefully.
It’s MIT private, only way I would take anything private would be a complete re write and probably would still open source that. I don’t think the software is what’s important. It’s the values.
Yeah, MIT license means you have to leave it open. You'd said, you were going to fork it and that you were pretty sure it'd still be open source - legally it has to remain open source with the MIT license.
(BSD license is a bit different, as you can close proprietary parts, as I recall.)
I'm just making sure we're on the same page.
Again, I'm not a lawyer and I'm sure as fuck not your lawyer. However, I might know a couple things about legal matters. I am also going off memory with the MIT license, but I can look it up and give it a read - if you want. I'm not scared.
If I do so, nothing I say will imply a contract nor is anything I say to be considered legal advice. As always, if you have any questions, please consult a qualified legal professional that's familiar with the subject matter and is licensed to operate in the appropriate jurisdiction.
I do have a free few minutes, 'cause I don't have to make dinner. I can look up the license and let you know what it reads like to me.
