No, this is not correct at all! You keep limiting yourself to the terms “open source” and “closed source”.
Any code you create, you own by copyright. Even if it is public on GitHub, you’re still the lone copyright owner and no one is legally allowed to do with it what isn’t allowed by a license.
Projects on GitHub without an open source license are only “functionally open source” to the same extent that pirated games are “functionally free”.
Correct, you are allowed to click the “fork” button and nothing else. You’re still not allowed to download, use, modify, compile or redistribute the code in any way that doesn’t involve the “fork” button.
The industry takes advantage of open source projects that have permissive licenses. This is an important distinction.
If you didn’t release your code with a permissive license (or even with a license at all), you have rights that protect you and your code. The only issue is that copyright infringement can often be hard to prove if you didn’t plan ahead for it.
I’m seeing this misconception in a lot of places.
Just because something is on GitHub, doesn’t mean it’s open source. It doesn’t automatically grant permission to share either.

Lemmy has its own API. Does this prove their ignorance of the standard too?
You should see what happens when someone posts news about Windows
You’re right, Firefox deserves a little blame for that. :-P
Congrats on the release!
How is lemmy-ui-leptos coming along? Curious to know when it might be ready for primetime.
Except if it’s minified for production.
How do you know the features are making the browser slower?
How are you quantifying the increase in weight?
How are they being forced upon you?
Order of operations is too ambiguous, needs more parentheses
My GOG and Bandcamp libraries.
Ok. How do I get my friend group to use Revolt?
Then tell them what your pronouns are? I don’t get the issue here.
This you?
