No one disputes the fact that Gab’s founder has the right to fork Brave. We just don’t think nazis add value to anything, including code bases

Gab is forking Brave, and Brave is forking furious by Guillermo Jimenez

Gab is creating its own web browser using Brave’s open-source code, scrapping the BAT token, and replacing it with Bitcoin Lightning Network integration.

Torba says he doesn’t understand the controversy: “The entire point of open source is to allow others to build upon an existing codebase and add more value,” he says, adding that Brave itself “is a fork of the Google Chromium project,” from which it benefited greatly.
“Open-source projects are forked all the time, GitHub even shows the fork count on every repo and the community uses it as a badge of honor. I can’t imagine any legitimate reason why Brendan or anyone else would have a problem with this.”

He forgot the part about how nazism doesn’t add value.
