CodeCov is now Open Source

Re:CodeCov is now Open Source by thinkmassive on Wednesday August 02, 2023 @02:00PM (#36974499)

Exact text copied from the license file:

    Change Date:2023-06-29          2027-01-01
    
    Change License:       Apache License, Version 2.0


    Effective on the Change Date, or the fourth anniversary of the first publicly available distribution of a specific version of the Licensed Work under this License, whichever comes first, the Licensor hereby grants you rights under the terms of the Change License, and the rights granted in the paragraph above terminate.

Did Sentry inadvertently open source CodeCov under Apache terms as of June 29, 2023?

Good catch, thanks! Fixing in https://github.com/codecov/self-hosted/pull/6.

I'm not sure you can undo this with a pull request.

This mistake only occurs in the self-hosted repo, which contains very little code. All of the "real" code is in the other four repos, each of which have their own LICENSE file that did not have this mistake.

Yes you can. If someone claimed "I can use it because they accidentally published the wrong license and swiftly corrected it", that wouldn't hold in court.

Would you have any precedent for that? I think in most of the world, that would hold in court.
