Steemd the backend of the blockchain was made opensource long ago.

Thanks! You are right, this license change was in April 2017, long before I wrote that answer. I had visited the code repository, the last time, somewhen in late 2016 or early 2017.

Considering golos is a steem clone and there is another as well that used steem code.

Looked at Golos briefly. It is Russian-only (?) and seems to have been started in 2016, before the Steem license change?

For those interested:

If you remember the other Steem clone, I would be interested if you post it. The simple reason: A Steem with less whale power would be an interesting project, although I'm still not convinced of the concept of storing everything on the blockchain.

I also found this old Steemit article: A Comparison of Steem/Steemit Clones and Competitors and Why They Made Me Invest More Here. But none of them seems to be a real "clone".

Its not purely Russian people from other lang's can post as well they just don't tend to earn as much.
