    If he wanted, he could have just open sourced the game, but chose not to.

      Open source would’ve been cool but I had a teacher in high school teach us how to re-create the game and it took us a week.

        Yes, it’s basically the first game any new game dev makes. The idea is way too simple for any kind of copyright. Not to mention it already existed before Flappy bird.
