Curve Finance Accuses PancakeSwap of Unauthorized Code Use
Curve Finance has publicly accused PancakeSwap of copying their stableswap code without permission, claiming it violates their license terms.
**Key Points:**
- Curve states the code usage is illegal and historically problematic for projects that have done similar things
- They're offering PancakeSwap a path forward through official licensing and collaboration
- The accusation emphasizes keeping users "SAFU" (secure) through proper expertise
**Context:**
This contrasts with Uniswap's approach, which released their interface under an open-source GPL license specifically to encourage forking - their GitHub repo has been forked nearly 4,700 times.
The situation highlights ongoing tensions around code licensing in DeFi, where the line between open-source collaboration and intellectual property protection remains contested.
