LOL. Those 3 weeks must have been really exciting at Llama Group. I can only imagine how the conversion went when the engineers tried to explain what FOSS means and the CEO understood none of it.

I thought I read elsewhere there were some GPL 2 parts in there too, I guess not.

I tried to find a source for this more credible than “I remember reading it on Lemmy” but couldn’t, now that the repo is deleted nobody can confirm. Perhaps some forks still exist… 🤔

No, that's impossible, because they didn't allow it 😭

They really just tried to get free labour.

They wanted free labor but own the changes.

They could have gotten free labor if they used a standard license like GPL or even MIT.

But nope. They were greedy.
