You don’t follow the license that it was distributed under.

Commonly, if you use open source code in your project and that code is under a license that requires your project to be open source if you do that, but then you keep yours closed source.

I still wouldn't call it stealing, but I guess "broke open source code licenses" doesn't have the same impact, but I'd prefer accuracy.

It’s piracy, distributing copyrighted works against the terms of its license. I agree stealing is not really the right word.

Nah piracy is with like boats.

And parrots and wooden legs.

And buried treasure and rum

And eyepatches and scimitars

Distributing it would be one thing, but profiting off it?

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 23 points 10 months ago

I think it makes the most sense to think of it like stealing the way plagiarism is stealing.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 13 points 10 months ago

I wouldn't call pirating stealing either so
