Reference The post that started it allIn order to clear up the original question I asked in a provocative manner, I have posed this question.If you learn an algorithm from an open source project, is it OK to use that algorithm in a separate closed sourced project? And if not, does that imply that you cannot use that knowledge ever again? If you can use it, what circumstance could that be?Just to clarify, I am not trying to evade a licence, otherwise I would not have asked the question in the first place.
Is it OK to learn an algorithm from an open source project, and then implement it in a closed source project?
