Hm, does Voyager have his blessing for being so similar to Apollo I wonder?
Does it need it? AFAIK, you can’t copyright a design.
You can’t copyright the underlying idea. You can copyright the specific expression of that idea.
I believe he does not like it
I don’t believe there is fuck-all he can do about it, unless it’s somehow directly lifting code.
Voyager is built from the ground up as a web app, not even possible to directly lift code from Apollo
Thats probably why he hasnt done fuck all, that doesnt mean he has to like it.
He's a smart guy and he wants to move on. He should do that and people should leave him alone but when he puts himself on the record, its fair game.
