Raddle is open source. You literally cannot steal open source code (unless you violate the GPL, which kbin doesn't), open source code is meant to be borrowed.
Getting mad at everything built using open source because stealing is wrong
*Postmill
Raddle is the main instance of postmill. Also:
See https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/196
Also: Postmill is licensed under Zlib license not GPL. Even if, this would violate GPLs terms, as Ernest did not attribute the code to Emma.
TL;DR: Some of the of the kbin source code was copied from/based on postmill, but its an issue of attribution. Some of kbins source code is original, as kbin has features (most notably federation) that postmill does not. This issue also only applies to kbins backend.
Edit: It looks like the license issues has not been solved yet even though the author of postmill reported the issue about two months ago, for more info see here: https://raddle.me/f/fediverse/170274/a-reminder-that-kbin-is-still-violating-the-zlib-license-of
The original post is exaggerating (not all the Kbin code is stolen code), but the Kbin creator used code from a different open source project without any attribution, so for a while it was, to an extent, similar to "stolen code". ~~Last I checked, the issue was resolved ~amicably, the kbin person provided attribution, and the original creator was satisfied~~ (although I did read her say she was discouraged from continuing her project because she would have appreciated contributions to hers, instead of forking/not attributing).
