I think if this had been actually clean-room reverse-engineered, it wouldn't be getting the backlash it's getting.

The fact that the LibreBoard devs outright ripped off Trello's CSS and HTML is a bit disappointing. Perhaps with the DMCA notice they got, they'll consider scrapping the current UI and coming up with something a bit more, you know, not blatantly copy-pasted.

That said, being able to use something reasonably-Trello-like for internal use (with data under the control of the entity using it) is a fantastic idea, and the fact that LibreBoard does that reasonably well (from what I can tell) gives me some hope that they'll manage to pull themselves out of this muck.

EDIT: And apparently there is, in fact, an effort to actually create a UI that isn't a blatant Trello ripoff: https://github.com/libreboard/libreboard/issues/94
