This shit is why people stop contributing to open source and releasing open source projects: predatory companies taking open source projects and calling them their own with little or not contributions back. It burns innovation and demoralizes creators who keep pushing the needle.

As hard as it is for people to break into infosec, people often release open source projects to prove their worth. This kind of shit can ruin that spirit. As a long time member of the #DFIR open source community, I feel like I need to call BS where I see it. Companies must be held accountable and should abide by licensing and contribute back as warrented by said licensing. I hope to see some contributions and good faith back to https://cipp.app/

@gleeda Disgusting. I’m glad it’s being called out, but I doubt they’ll change course at all.

@dostalcody it’s difficult to make companies like this course correct. And unfortunately it’s difficult to enforce some of these open source licenses when the offenders outweigh you as well

@gleeda @dostalcody Since it’s licensed under AGPLv3, @conservancy might be able to help with enforcement.
