@Fast-Nop If I'm downloading a random recipe generator that someone made on reddit, why would I worry about getting sued?

@BitFlipped you can download what you want, but if you actually make something with it and distribute it, as it is typical in open source, then you better have a licence for external stuff and understand its specific implications.
Open source without open source licence is read-only stuff. -
@rEaL-jAsE well it may depend on local legislation, but basically you can't get any additional copyrights by writing a license.
A bit of an off-topic, but people need to shut up about copyright.
I see people making cool fun stuff all the time, and they start talking about a liscence to use it and copyrights and stuff. Wtf!? I get it if you're making a big commercial project, but no one's gonna steal your cookie clicker clone nor your minecraft mod.
I get it that people want their work to be protected, but ffs it reay annoys me when people bring up legal stuff when mentioning a project that was clearly just made for fun.
