    Looks like there is actually pretty little code left over in this repo, maybe this is why. But still is there 0 code left over?

    It's not, unless the majority of the code is rewritten or the original author expressly permits

    the majority of code is rewritten - it's not even in the same language anymore

    the only reason i kept the original git history is to try and preserve some amount of credit to the other author (something they did not do for us as they stripped us as contributors)

    and considering they are intentionally name squatting i'm not very inclined to do much more than this

    I mean to be totally fair: opencode.ai is either too generic -> then there is no real claim to the name. Or the name is so similar to OpenAI Codex that there is a trademark issue for sure, and you should possibly switch to another one. I'd lean on the name being too generic anyway and there is no claim to be made. It is simply too descriptive. Open Code AI. 3 words that describe whats going on.
