  you didnt build shit in 4 days you yoinked a gpl-v3 code, slapped an apache license on it, and called it a startup here’s a quick 101 on how not to steal open source

  @garrytan@ycombinator

  is this what you invest in? yuck

  

  Good morning,

  @im_roy_lee

  ! In just 4 days we open-sourced the latest

  @cluely

  called Glass. Same real-time meeting assistant, sharper output & design, but 100% free. Distribution isn’t the moat; velocity is. 🔗 github.com/pickle-com/gla… (Highlights ↓ )

  open source isn't a free for all the gplv3 license has rules: if you use gplv3 code, your project must also be gplv3 releasing it under an incompatible license (like apache 2.0) is a violation, not a "shortcut" i can send you a DMCA for it, lmao

  

  how to convert open source into closed source (the shady way): - steal GPLv3 code - slap an Apache 2.0 license on it - wait until it gets traction, then close it up, "legally," cuz hey, it’s apache now... right

  

  here is a side by side comparison

  

  

  

  even the comments are the same lmao

  

  

  they even use the same random versions of libraries i use lmao

  

  

  if you liked the work, you could’ve forked it, its open source but instead, you pretended you wrote it there are yc companies that are forks of my code 😭

  

  bad look for

  @ycombinator

  and

  @garrytan

  , honestly to real builders out there, just build, it’s not that hard so many yc companies are just weekend wrappers, this is just another example

  

  anyway, enough of my rant go check out cheatingdaddy.com, the one not made by grifters (in 4 days lmao)
