2021-08-12 18:06:23 maw 2021-08-12 18:51:45 maw dave0 2021-08-12 18:51:51 maw crc 2021-08-12 18:53:52 i was looking at the forth code in openfirmware, it was nice https://github.com/openbios/openbios/ 2021-08-12 18:56:01 GPL :( 2021-08-12 18:56:24 oh whoops! didn't notice that 2021-08-12 18:56:57 i was just using it for ideas, not to copy 2021-08-12 19:13:18 I don't look at GPL sources that have any degree of overlap with my projects 2021-08-12 20:10:04 🤍 GPL 2021-08-12 20:12:11 its ok, github AI has taught us, that no one should care about licensing 2021-08-12 21:03:52 I find the idea that the METHODOLOGY used in a piece of GPL'd software would have any sort of legal protection. I get it that one shouldn't look at it and "copy them," but it seems to me it would be hard to prove you'd "stolen an algorithm." There was a problem to solve, and whoever wrote the licensed code arrived at that method of solving it. Obviously, someone else might arrive at that method too. 2021-08-12 21:04:21 So I think the degree of resemblance would have to be very, very strong indeed before the license holder could really make a case. 2021-08-12 21:04:37 In my book a vague methodology match wouldn't be enough. 2021-08-12 21:05:21 I don't think just glancing over GPL'd source would make you able to duplicate it well enough to have a problem. Just don't have it lying there open beside you while you code. 2021-08-12 21:05:43 crc: But, it never hurts to play things extra safe. Legal crap isn't always reasonable.
