Do you not see the contradiction in this statement? Where do you find the line of what is stealing and “working as intented”?
If you redistribute someone else's open source code as open source but change nothing why would I get it from you and not the original developer? There is no incentive and no reward to "steal".
If you make enough changes to create additional value I might and then it is "working as intended"
The interface gets a little better and that's it basically? (Alternatively: They try to spin a social medium around it and fail somewhat and succeed somewhat?)
