Root Cause

Do the right thing. Don't be shitty. Naive tech journalists have already incorrectly reported Claude Code as an open-source project on numerous occasions, in no large part because you guys are acting in bad faith.

Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Claude Code is not open-source.

Peripheral things, like the docs, are.

Rename this repo to "claude-code-docs" or similar.

The presence of this repo on GitHub, under the current name, is entirely misleading and in bad faith.

What Should Happen?

Do the right thing. Don't be shitty. Naive tech journalists have already incorrectly reported Claude Code as an open-source project on numerous occasions, in no large part because you guys are acting in bad faith.

TL;DR

Rename the repository to accurately reflect its contents, such as "claude-code-docs", to avoid misleading users about the open-source status of Claude Code.

Guidance

  • Verify the current repository name and its implications on user perception.
  • Consider the potential consequences of misleading reporting on the open-source status of Claude Code.
  • Evaluate the necessity of clearly distinguishing between open-source and non-open-source components related to Claude Code.
  • Assess the impact of renaming the repository on existing documentation and links.

Notes

The issue primarily concerns the misleading naming of the repository and its potential impact on public perception, rather than a technical bug or error. The solution involves a straightforward renaming process.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Rename the repository to avoid confusion, as this directly addresses the reported issue of misleading representation of Claude Code's open-source status.
