@hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus @Foxboron@chaos.social well, it would be public domain (by current rulings in the US) if the newer version is sufficiently different from the original LGPL to not be covered under that copyright
Very "funny" to license a repo as MIT when it is potentially either LGPL or public domain

@brie@do.crimes.brie.gay @Foxboron@chaos.social Well... :neobot_thinking: ... Fair point! :neobot_peek: One could argue that a rewrite is something different or the same... depending on how one wants to play it. This one would argue that it is actually something new because the underlying technology has changed to a significant degree (as far as this one is aware... but it is not a lawyer obviously).
