“I don’t care about cookies“ web extension acquired by Avast

Re:“I don’t care about cookies“ web extension acquired by Avast by walthamstow on Thursday September 15, 2022 @12:29PM (#32854456)

I have recovered and am hosting the source code for version 3.4.2, the version prior to the Avast acquisition, on GitHub at the following

https://github.com/elgrove/idcac-3.4.2

I am not well versed in open source licensing but I believe the GPL3 gives me permission to do this. Please could someone more knowledgeable confirm this for me.

I am not a web developer, I'm hosting the code in the hope that someone else will take it and fork it. It's one of my favourite extensions and a day 1 install on any new machine, along with UBO

Yes, the GPL 3 grants you the right to do this.

No, you only have the license, not the copyright. So you are permitted to redistribute the code as stipulated by the license, but you are not allowed to, for example, relicense existing code to something else like BSD (except for modifications that you made afterwards).
