Trump's Brand New TRUTH App May Violate Terms Of Open Source Code It's Built On

The new social network founded by former President Trump may violate the terms of use of the software on which it is based.

On Wednesday night, after Trump revealed the TRUTH social app, Twitter users began to note that the network appeared to be based on an open-source social networking software called Mastodon, which allows people to modify the underlying code so long as they abide by its license.

But the Trump network appears to have taken the publicly available code for the website while violating the terms that make it free to use.

I am well aware of Mr Trump's inability to tell the truth, hence my question.
Perhaps I should have been clearer: You got any proof that Mr Trump told the truth in fourth grade? Or ever, really?
