So these were ripped from the Instagram code , modified and opened up via GitHub?

Is this releasing proprietary Instagram info, or did I misunderstand this?

"Reverse-engineered" is really how this project should be worded.

EDIT: At the time I gave this author the benefit of the doubt. Looks like he pulled the actual shaders from the Instagram binaries, which is not cool.

More like intellectual property theft. Or at least just wrong.

Nope, not theft, obviously belongs to him because he created it. It says so in every file.
