No, this is not correct at all! You keep limiting yourself to the terms “open source” and “closed source”.
Any code you create, you own by copyright. Even if it is public on GitHub, you’re still the lone copyright owner and no one is legally allowed to do with it what isn’t allowed by a license.
Projects on GitHub without an open source license are only “functionally open source” to the same extent that pirated games are “functionally free”.
Correct, you are allowed to click the “fork” button and nothing else. You’re still not allowed to download, use, modify, compile or redistribute the code in any way that doesn’t involve the “fork” button.
The industry takes advantage of open source projects that have permissive licenses. This is an important distinction.
If you didn’t release your code with a permissive license (or even with a license at all), you have rights that protect you and your code. The only issue is that copyright infringement can often be hard to prove if you didn’t plan ahead for it.
I’m seeing this misconception in a lot of places.
Just because something is on GitHub, doesn’t mean it’s open source. It doesn’t automatically grant permission to share either.

You can use whatever license you want. You can even go ahead and write your own license from scratch.
You’d only have to worry about enforcing the license, especially when you include such unorthodox terms and conditions.
Lemmy has its own API. Does this prove their ignorance of the standard too?
You should see what happens when someone posts news about Windows
You’re right, Firefox deserves a little blame for that. :-P
If the lurkers don’t agree with you, does that make them trolls too?
Congrats on the release!
How is lemmy-ui-leptos coming along? Curious to know when it might be ready for primetime.
It’s easier to make small saves for games like The Pedestrian, because essentially all you have to track is which puzzles you’ve solved.
Whereas in an RPG with a persistent world like Cyberpunk or Skyrim, you have to save the state of every single object and mechanic the player has interacted with during their run, and there are usually a whole lot of those.
Except if it’s minified for production.
What’s bad about IPv6?
The fact that this is the top comment sends a funny message about the Lemmy community as a whole.
Can you please not editorialize the post title when you make the video your post link?
