AskHN: What is the online equivalent of modifying and branding another’s work?

1 pointionwake4 comments

For example customising a pair of Nike shoes and reselling them under your own brand - which is apparently legal?

AWS?

Most of their services seem to be SAS/PAS based on Open source.

Excellent point - also in a way when you use AWS your end product would be in itself a rebranding of existing tech.

Maybe this was a silly question after all - is there something more “complete” that can be rebranded legally ?

Web scraping might be thought of as a quasi-legal rebranding. For example, I think there are a bunch of sites that basically clone StackOverflow.

In other "techy" places, I think "reaction videos" on platforms like YouTube might fall into this category.

Forking an open source project though seems to be the iconic example in my book.

Sorry if this is a silly question I was just curious thank you
