Mastodon is free and open-source software for running self-hosted social networking services.

OMG! Those bastards copied FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE! What kind of criminals is Trump employing here who would just go off and use FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE like that! They should all be thrown in FOSS jail for doing what tons of other people have already done with the FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE.

Users can create a software “fork,” essentially a modified version of the company’s code for their own purposes, so long as they abide by certain legally mandated stipulations in Mastodon’s terms of service. Somewhat predictably, Truth Social appears to have snatched the code but failed to abide by its terms.

go ahead and clic, might learn sumpin'

I read it all already. Who is going to enforce a FOSS attribution license like it's unlawful? Oracle, Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. have ignored FOSS license attributions and nothing happened to them.
