so it looks like NYCDA is a clone of freeCodeCamp.
is this allowed?
is this what it means to be open sourced?
any other details would be appreciated. thanks.

Lol, what the fuck? I hope that NYCDA did not just blatantly rip freecodecamp. That would be such an asshole thing to do, stealing from a nonprofit.
If you scroll to the very end of the Readme (part of the github page for FCC), youâll see that the software is licensed under 3-clause version of the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license, and the curriculum under the Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution-and-share-alike license. So, basically, they could straight up take the entire software interface and as long as they donât keep the lessons the same, they arenât stealing.
However, if they DO copy curricular content and put it behind a pay wall, they are violating the âshare-alikeâ part of the CC-BY-SA license. Itâs one of the âviralâ licenses. Do you have a picture of the rest of their curriculum?
i donât have picture. but here is the second link included in a request for help in the forums.
interesting how they still link to fCC when they are the one collecting cash for âteachingâ these students.
Ha if you click the âSign inâ link, the title of the tab says âSign into freeCodeCamp | NYCDA Foundationsâ. Looks like they forgot to change something
In the source code they even let a link to read-search-ask and in the commonFramework.js
