Ownership of OpenSource #176

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

I have a friend who might be dealing with some serious charges for accessing OpenSource software that he installed on his web server. Possibly a "Founders Copyright" might apply. The control of that web server account was taken from him and then he was terminated. Who owns the OpenSource software now? Who can rightfully access the code? The webserver account that was taken contol of wapart of his wholy owned LLC

Not sure why I didn't notice this question before, but a situation like this is best left to a lawyer. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving legal advice.
