I think that's what AGPL tries to prevent

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago

Yes, but if the code they took is not AGPL then this loophole still applies

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, I meant more that AGPL was created to plug this particular loophole. As in, if it was AGPL, they couldn't do this.

That's true

Although I personally am not a fan of licences this strict, MIT+Apache2.0 seems good enough for me. Of course, that might change with time and precedents like this 😅
