@RandoCalrandian @Spellbind0127 mastodon github doesn’t contain this file for laughs it contains it for legal reasons. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/AUTHORS.md

@RandoCalrandian l@Spellbind0127 because thats the law you can’t just change the license of code that other have contributed to just because you own the repository doesn’t make it so you own the legal rights to all the code. (Your an idiot if you say otherwise. )

@BaconIsAVeg @SoupOfTheDay what part of the analogy is incomplete. Generally want to know because I might be missing something if that’s the case.

@SoupOfTheDay Kbin and Lemmy are two different softwares that talk to one another using a protocol called activitypub. This is similar to email if I use gmail and you use outlook we can still send one another email even though we are using software operated by different email providers. The same thing Applies to Kbin and Lemmy different software with very similar use cases that communicates with one another. Please mention me in this thread if you have any more questions for me.
