#42let's not freak out - you can't "steal" open-source code, they used an incompatible license. that was accidentally too free.

#49looks like they fixed it: https://github.com/pickle-com/glass/commit/5c462179acface889... let's not freak out - you can't "steal" open-source code, they used an incompatible license. that was accidentally too free. people monetizing something you open-source isn't stealing.
