Hm, does Voyager have his blessing for being so similar to Apollo I wonder?

Does it need it? AFAIK, you can’t copyright a design.

You can’t copyright the underlying idea. You can copyright the specific expression of that idea.

Pretty sure that’s exactly what copyright is for, actually

You’re pretty sure, but you are wrong. The closest would be a design patent

I don’t believe there is fuck-all he can do about it, unless it’s somehow directly lifting code.

Voyager is built from the ground up as a web app, not even possible to directly lift code from Apollo

Seems like it does not, but it also seems like Christian isn’t really taking action against it.

He’s a smart guy and he wants to move on. He should do that and people should leave him alone but when he puts himself on the record, its fair game.
