IIRC, he open sourced the server backend.

Edit: apparently I do not recall correctly. I remember someone saying something about open source, and he posted something to github. I incorrectly linked the two. Thanks to those posted more accurate information below.

I'm not sure if "open sourced" is the right word(s) here. I can't find a license in the repository, so it is not released as open source and the code can't be used without breaching copyright.

I’m pretty sure it was only done to prove Reddit wrong re: scraping and abusing the API (and all those silly accusations they made against Apollo).

He still owns the rights to it AFAIK.
