    What is the source of this rumour? Can’t find anything online about stolen code from raddle in kbin. Both projects are open source so should be easy to prove.

    Misleading. MinekPo1 found the discussion. The kbin dev had neglected to add attribution for some copied backend code. The postmill dev points it out with links, asks for attribution, gets an apology, is asked if the code can be used or needs to be rewritten, she explains how to fix the licensing and endorses use of the code with proper attribution.

    The framing is overblown for maximum drama.

    Update: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/937#issuecomment-1041941
    Turns out Emma had to put a snarky comment, after two months of waiting, in a thread with a Free Software Foundation person offering financial assistance, to get this resolved.

      First I'd hear of this. I looked at the source code of both repos (the raddle.me repo is called Postmill). There's no relation at all. Both repos have history going back at least a couple of years. Kbin says in the readme it is inspired - not based on - Postmill. But even if it was, they're both open source! The whole point of open source is that you can reuse other people's code to make your own thing!!!

      Probably Raddle itself. They're probably not even trans. They lie so much I can't believe a single thing on that site.

      Their discussion was two months ago, but the licencing issues have still not been solved.
