RE: The Steem Fork Begins: Meet Steemit Reloaded, New official name: Calibrae

in #steem7 years ago

You are perfectly entitled to Fork steem it is developed with an MIT license and is Open Source. While MIT is geared more towards copyleft it is still pretty permissive alowing you to edit, copy or redistribute. Personaly I'd have preferd GPL license but at least it's not proprietary.

Sort:  

I wanted to change it all to Unlicence. So, to me, it's not as restrictive, or constrictive, as I'd like. I would like to make it fully CC0. Copy as you like, but keep attributions. I have no desire to not credit who coded what remains after I change the rest.

Ah, I'm not sure you can. I'm confident you have to inherit the original. MIT is not too bad though.

It sounds much like BSD, but maybe it enforces attribution. Attribution I am very much in favour. Restrictions beyond this are immoral in my view.
