> This just means their CTO was sloppy, Amazon legal department would have never allowed that tweet.

But the tweet is still up: https://twitter.com/Werner/status/649738362086027265 (archive: https://archive.is/0py42)

Pretty sure legal has reviewed it like a 100 times by now: AWS' taking no prisoners here.




I am guessing that there's only two ways for them to remove the tweet.

1. Delete it with an apology (admitting guilt is not likely to be great for the lawsuit).

2. Delete it and say nothing (destruction of evidence is not likely to be great for the lawsuit).


It's not completely wrong. Using an open-source code to make something new is, to some extent, colloboration.
