@jenesaisquoi @Ordoviz It’s a gray area, legally. What you say is theoretically correct, but there’s practical issues once you’ve looked at the code that will open you up to legal liability anyway.

For instance, what if you need a utility function during your reimplementation for which there is really only one obvious implementation? You can no longer claim to have come up with it by yourself.

I doubt the FSF would sue over it, but companies are known to avoid the risk.

 

This Thursday, I gave a presentation about @biomejs at the @jetbrains office in #Amsterdam. It was great to hear all the positive feedback about our project, and anecdotes from both users and people who may become our users 😊 It was nice talking to you, and I’ll get happily back to hacking towards Biome 2.0 👨‍💻

 

If you have no plans yet for Thursday night and you happen to be around #Amsterdam, I'll be speaking about @biomejs at the #Rust #Meetup at the @jetbrains office: https://www.meetup.com/nl-NL/rust-amsterdam-group/events/304514267/

Maybe I'll see you there!
