What’s to stop me from creating my own crypto currency from a copy of someone else’s?

>write script to copy any commits to ethereums github to my github. I now have a coin exactly as good as ethereums. I can now sell each one for $800 each. No one can stop me because it’s open source

Nothing at all. You can also download Reddit's source code and run your own reddit. These things are open source because they derive value from the network effect that has developed around them, not the code.

The most entertaining thing about crypto by far are all these fresh brainlets who have done fifteen minutes of research and think they're making some profound observation about FOSS that nobody has made before.
