And it’s not even an official app. Dude just stole the name and source code lol. Kinda shitty behaviour, not gonna lie. At least rename it.
Do you know anything about opensource?
“Infinity for Reddit” uses AGPLv3 License.
- You can modify, distribute.
- You must include copyright, include licence, disclose source…
https://www.tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-affero-general-public-license-v3-agpl-3-0
Didn’t stole anything, it continued a project, and the name is being discussed on other post.
That’s how opensource works, you don’t stole, you improve other peoples works and give them credit for their work.
Did you know that most of the apps for Lemmy are opensource and use other opensource projects?
Did you know that Google Chrome uses a browser engine that was created by KDE then improved by Apple, then Google forked it and change the name to Blink.
PS: Trump stole the code from Mastodon, remove the creator credits and call it their own.
Heh, as an addendum to that last bit, Truth actually got a C&D order from the Mastodon creator(s) and had to make the source code available, iirc. I know Gab faced that too.
The beauty of open source.
Reusing the name is the shitty part, especially if you’re not calling it unofficial.
Why? It’s the same thing, just pull it and compile if you don’t like this guy putting his name on it
Because if the original developer wants to make a Lemmy app, and the name Infinity is already taken by a random person?
Not to mention a vast majority of people don’t realize it’s not the original developer, which is shady.
It’s garbage behaviour to rip a name without making any changes to it, or by at least having unofficial somewhere.
Ok I get where you’re coming from. I guess my standards have lowered due to the amount of straight up spamware copying the names of other apps. To me, it’s not a big deal to create an app of the same name using the original source code. But it is disingenuous. I agree with you now, good point.
Not really, it’s not even the same name. It’s called “Infinity for Lemmy,” where as the original app is called “Infinity for Reddit.” There should be no confusing them. Secondly, I don’t think that DocileAlligator would disapprove of the work being done here either. It carries on the legacy of the app he helped make, and it also carries on the spirit of what open-source can achieve.
Sync for Reddit and Sync for Lemmy are both by the same developer.
Boost for Reddit and Boost for Lemmy are both by the same developer.
Infinity for Reddit and Infinity for Lemmy are NOT by the same developer.
See the problem?
I didn’t know Red Hat had an account on the Fediverse?
And FYI, Infinity for Reddit was always open source. Still is actually, even though the creator is struggling to keep it alive. Infinity for Lemmy is carrying on a rather proud FOSS tradition.
I know, great dev. Unfortunately he doesn’t have most spare time to work on the app, always tried to fix bugs and respond to issues.
Infinity for Lemmy is a way to show appreciation to his work, and continue what he started.
He really is. He put in a lot of work to make Infinity work as well as it did. I viewed it as the best alternative to Apollo for Android users. But I guess that’s all in the past now mostly…
Regardless, I really am glad to see this work being carried on for Lemmy. I hope DocileAlligator can see that happening, and appreciates seeing it happen. Would be cool to even get him over here one day. :)
