The author of open-source FairScan alleges that Ente Locker copied multiple image-processing implementations from their project, translating them from Kotlin to Rust without providing attribution. Despite receiving multiple emails, Ente has not responded to copyright concerns, and the disputed code was already distributed in Locker version 1.0.9.
Background
Ente is a privacy-focused company known for encrypted storage, messaging, and photos apps. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions in the open-source community around proper attribution and license compliance when companies adopt open-source code into commercial products.
