RE: Go fork yourself...a parable of self love

Theft? Piracy? Heist? Hackers? Violating property rights?

No. No. No. No. No.

Since the code is open source and anyone running Alice’s code is doing so under their own free will, I don’t see how anyone could claim any sort of violation. In fact, claiming that Alice is committing some criminal or unethical act is the only problem I see here.

If others don’t like Alice’s code, then they don’t have to run it. This is a pretty black and white scenario. Free will and free association trump empty rhetoric and emotional attachment.
