Honey co-founder's Pie Adblock called out for copying GPL'd uBlock Origin files
Closed-source browser extension Pie Adblock was this week accused of copying code & text from rival uBlock Origin in violation of the latter's software license – GNU GPL v3.
Since that claim and The Register's inquiry, Pie Adblock's maker published materials in the past few hours that clearly come from uBlock Origin as well as Adguard, another competitor.
