OccupySaaS is protest movement written in code.
Story is simple. Many engineers got laid off in tech. But the SaaS platforms they built keep growing and keep charging per seat. So the same industry rent our own work back to us. This project is answer to that. Laid off engineers use AI and public documentation to rebuild those platforms as free open source drop-in replacements. One seat at a time.
Method is clean room. Public docs only, open standards, public SDK behaviour. No leaked code, no decompile, no confidential info from former employer. AI help with build, humans write spec and review every change. Compatible is proven by running vendors own public SDKs against the server. If your existing code dont work unchanged, it is not done.
Two early releases: ZeroAuthy ( Auth0 compatible identity server) and SalesCompel( Salesforce compatible CRM)
They are early, not production ready yet. But the goal is the point.
That is incorrect though. The idea behind clean room is in the name: if you take even the same idea, write a spec, and SOMEONE ELSE does a different implementation, you’re fine. The someone else here is AI. And no, AI output is not patentable nor IP infringement, unless there is a case I missed something. Adobe is extremely litigious, so they haven’t made a move yet. They have no case.
companies have been sued over using the same names for functions. this is absolutely not clean room.
