minus-squaredelirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoThis is how open source is supposed to work. Everything they’re doing is now going to improve the open source codebase. This is good.
minus-squaredelirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·3 months agoHow is it boot licking to get money from rich people to develop open source software? Lemmy is FOSS that was funded by a grant from NLNet. Its the same outcome as this. If anyone is licking boots, its the rich people licking the FOSS boots
minus-squarenek0d3r@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoExcept this isn’t money going to a FOSS project, it’s money to some guys whose only keyboard is StackOverflow’s The Key.

minus-squarealt_xa_23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoVscode is released under a MIT license and the Continue extension is released under Apache. Neither is copyleft, so the forked codebase doesn’t need to be open source
minus-squaredelirious_owl@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·3 months agoAh you’re right. Blame Vscode for using MIT. Maybe now is a good time to tell them to change it to GPL, so this can’t happen again.
