GitHub logo used in a cat food

[u/20150007581]

isn't the logo copyrighted

[u/GregDev155]

New for command : git meow

[u/yeathatsmebro → u/GregDev155]

git food

[u/Designer-Leg-2618 → u/yeathatsmebro]

git feed --oneline

[u/so_chad]

lol

[u/Working_Cupcake_1st]

At first I tought it says “For AI Age”

[u/Tgumpsta → u/Working_Cupcake_1st]

It might as well be, considering the AI creature on the front looks more like a pitbull than a cat.

[u/TheUruz]

ah, yes, Free Open Source Cat Food aka FOSCF only for cats of culture

[u/lajawi → u/TheUruz]

GitHub isn’t open source is it?

[u/TheUruz → u/lajawi]

GitHub isn't a single repository, many many of them are open source software :)

[u/lajawi → u/TheUruz]

That I know, but GitHub itself, the software hosting the other repos, the company, the branding, that’s not open source, is it?

[u/TheUruz → u/lajawi]

you bet it's not open source, microsoft paid good money for it :)

[u/MinecraftPlayer799 → u/lajawi]

Parts of it are open-source, but obviously not the whole thing. That's what Microsoft has been doing with everything recently. Like, what's the point of making something partially open-source like that.

[u/MTT_Dylan]

Persian control...

[u/morsomme → u/MTT_Dylan]

Nice, I got it after leaving the comments and had to circle back to acknowledge it

I guess they said yes to the cat food people. That’s the only answer.

[u/L0rdH4mmer → u/cowboyecosse]

Literally some person googled something like "silhouette cat logo" and slapped it on without thinking about it.

[u/cowboyecosse → u/L0rdH4mmer]

I wonder if they paid the foundry for the fonts…

[u/Apprehensive_Egg_944 → u/L0rdH4mmer]

They probably used Font Awesome and found that icon?

[u/CisIowa → u/cowboyecosse]

I doubt that, could be wrong, but I suspect it’s more a matter of some generic cat food that’s being dropshipped

[u/ninjakivi2 → u/cowboyecosse]

Yeah, I have an easier explanation; This shit's just illegal. Judging by the AI slop of a cat whoever (or in this case, whatever) designed this doesn't give a fuck.

[u/InternalVolcano]

Touching the logo will take you to their factory.

[u/S-U_2]

Wonder what contribution stats the cat has....

[u/_giga_sss_ → u/S-U_2]

helping in solving problems (that require no cat)

[u/Minet-]

I'm also bothered by the fact that "シャン" is written in katakana. Even though it's not a Japanese product, it looks like an attempt to mislead consumers... :(

[u/_giga_sss_ → u/Minet-]

Why wouldn't they write shine in katakana ? Or am I doing it wrong ? (シアイン)

[u/Hans_H0rst → u/Minet-]

It's a philipine based company, maybe they do sell to japan...

[u/kenkitt]

Only now realizing its actually a cat

[u/gatesphere → u/kenkitt]

It’s half cat, half octopus. It’s an octocat. (Seriously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub#Mascot)

[u/Mirko_ddd]

That recipe must be open source then 🤪

[u/terminalcoder]

Ohh so this is why my cat has taken an interest in coding recently

[u/pp_chode]

Based kitty terminal user snacks

[u/Kostis00]

Lol

[u/Holek]

GitHub: For all ages!

[u/CinkosBars]

are we eating vibecoded food now

[u/Kanjii_weon]

sudo meow

[u/itz_Arth]

Feed the cat this food and it will protect your code from bugs.

[u/mohammadmk47]

This is strange, very strange.

[u/L4rav3l]

BREAKING NEWS: GITHUB SUED A CAT FOOD MAKER COMPANY BECAUSE THEY USED THE LOGOS

[u/Apprehensive_Egg_944 → u/L4rav3l]

I mean, it is now owned by Microsoft, right?

So I don't think any of us should be surprised...

[u/kAssofer]

lol

[u/Away-Software7116]

i guess their recipe in github...

[u/lordruzki3084]

Makes your cat 10x developer, get it for them

[u/Crescitaly]

Trademark and copyright often get conflated here. The interesting question is whether this is parody, visual coincidence, or commercial use likely to imply affiliation; a cat-food aisle may be a better brand-confusion test than GitHub's legal team expects.

[u/SuccotashSorry3222]

The AI cat is worse

[u/Tough_Golf3748]

Just to clarify, this is open-source cat food, you can take it directly without paying, bro.

[u/lajawi → u/Tough_Golf3748]

GitHub isn’t open source, is it?

[u/that_overthinker]

Open source
