Ned: Anyone can just fork steem, the code is open source.
SteemSpeak: Wait, isn't the code under a licence?
Ned: Brilliantly avoided the question

Most people involved in steemit are not idiots, they know that when something doesn't make sense like golos , you just need to follow the money.
I don't blame Ned for wanting more money ( who doesn't want more money right?) I am just disapointed because he is not being honest with the community.
