Steemd is now completely free to use with an MIT License

in #steemit8 years ago

We’ve been thinking about our license and the Steem vision. So in accordance with our beliefs in freedom and innovation, we’ve decided to change the Steem license to the MIT open source license.

Before, Steemd code was restricted to use on the Steem blockchain or with permission from Steemit Inc. Now you can use any part of the source code for your own projects.

That's also why we're opening Steem up. Developers will drive Steem innovation, and for that they need full access to the codebase. So now they have it! We look forward to all the amazing things you and the community do with Steem code!

Not sure why this just popped into my head... but it did... so I just had to create it HAHA.

Ned, This is One Excellent Contribution to Society!

I was thinking that Titanic went on the bottom of the sea.

Looks a lot like the truth on fakestream media!

I am informed that you can use any currency - by a witness - I need to think through the ramifications very closely but ... it does not appear to hold any gremlins as a concept. Please tell me if you see otherwise.

I wouldn't read into my little image too much ;) just purely an image that came to mind that I thought I'd share but I'm curious to see what could be drawn from the image... @noisy seems to have one

It was just a joke.

lol
Yes but everybody speak about it now

Now that's creative and funny :D

Thank You!

Thank You!

Thank You!

Bitcoin would not be so successful without own forks in form of other altcoins. This will help us in the long term. This is really big news! :)

Yes, Bitcoin was open source. Didn't seem to hurt it's value. :)

Somethings are worth shouting out from the roof tops..!! Stephen

I think it should be SteemDoge.

Such Freedom
Very Forked
Wooooow

Gimme Dogeeeeeee xD

again some cool news, Open Source is a lot more fair for people

just a technical question, when LICENCE it will be changed in repository?

https://github.com/steemit/steem/blob/master/LICENSE.md


EDIT: ok, I found it: https://github.com/steemit/steem/pull/1055

It is not merged yet, because it waits for jekins (just a formality in that case)... so it is happening:

Are you new or have always been there? Been seeing you more lately and you are really sharp!

@vandeberg is one of the founding members of the Steemit Team. He formerly used the account @proskynneo. And yes he is quite sharp ;)

I do miss the posting sharpness of @andrarchy though! Has your timeline got a case of resteem-itis?! Your worse than @mammasitta! Has Steemit Inc. deballed and declawed you? I hope not my old friend! Ha ha! Steem on ... and reveal thy personality ... always set aside time for that @andrarchy - it's a RELEASE!!! ... and it also allows people to see the personality in their community manager too [just some blogger feedback for ya!] ;) Die hard the hunter!

I don't understand what you mean. Worse than me? Could you go more into details and clarify ? @mindhunter

Hello my serial resteemer! 7/10 i.e. 70% of your last 10 posts were resteems! Last week it was 90%!! Terrible behaviour from the Mamma :D

Dear @mindhunter I re-steem as much as I wish to support authors who never get enough votes from whales nor other members. I worked hard to get over 850 followers.
Nobody has the right to critique my behaviour and call it terrible but its your right to think as you wish. I am posting a lot of articles as well and I am an active curator. I will continue to introduce good posts on my blog . Have a nice day !

BTW As much as You enjoy posting I do love helping newbies and their great posts drowning . Who decides whats bad behaviour anyways ?

If I recall correctly his name is on the white paper even.

Isn't he the bright young man who introduced busy.org at the steemfest ?
