It’s licensed under CC0 to anyone wondering. BSD 0-Clause would probably be better but still fantastic.
CC0 is a horrible thing to use for software. It seems great, but it specifically does not give patent rights. Compare that to MIT which implicitly does so. CC0 specifically says it does not.
The US government doesn’t (to my knowledge at least) have copyright protections so MIT wouldn’t be possible. BSD 0-Clause is just better because e.g. Austria doesn’t allow you to cede copyright to the public domain and CC0 directly mentions the public domain in the terms of the license.
Interesting, SPDX does not list 0BSD as FSF approved, but FSF does approve it. This isn’t the first problem I’ve seen with SPDX’s list. They say CC0 is FSF approved but FSF only says it is approved for things besides code.
What happened to the title of this?? Jeez
“The IRS Tax Filing Software that TurboTax Is Trying to Kill Just Got Open Sourced” might be more clear but headlines try to cut those sorts of words out, unfortunately at the cost of readability sometimes.
They accidentally included 8 verbs. (tax, filing, is, trying, kill, got, open, sourced)
TurboTax owned buy intuit, part of H&R block who has partnered with credit karma. Everything is a monopoly now
Yeah I saw Monopoly Fortnite I wonder what is next?
I know, what are they making next? Lord of the Rings edition? Star Wars? Oh the humanities.
Hurry up and clone that ASAP, this is gonna get taken down once DOGE realizes what it is
I wonder if this could be altered to work for other countries
It would be nice but I think it is not really possible. Too many difference in the laws I suppose.
Suck a bag of dicks, TurboTax
The more money you pay someone to find the loop holes in the tax code the less likely you are to support out government and its war machine.
Lmao, nice
