Reproduce some website ideas on my own opensource project
<p>I am a developer and I recently came accross a website to practice my development environment skills. This website has a premium access policy and rather than paying, I would like to develop my own project to reproduce some of their ideas, to practise on my own.</p>

<p>I think that I can legally do that at home without risking any kind of legal attacks.</p>

<p>However, I would also like to share my code on <a href="https://github.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GitHub</a>, to make it available for other people, and have a bit more visibility for future potential employers.</p>

<p>Since I won't be using any of the code of the proprietary website, Is opensourcing my code illegal ? I won't copying the website exactly but take some of its ideas.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your help.</p>

<p>You are fine. You can pretty much take any idea/feature that the site has and implement it yourself. The whole internet is based of taking an idea or feature somebody else had and improving upon it. Just don't copy the code like you said. </p>

<p>No opensourcing your code is not illegal but there are a few different types of licenses.</p>
