Tibo gives a thumbs up for forks of codex, says for devs to reach out

[darlingm]

The Codex license certainly allows the Every Code fork, and they created the "codex exec" command, but I've definitely wondered if OpenAI would ever decide they had a problem with either. Claude Code (not open source) banned some accounts that used third-party programs using Claude subscriptions. That's of course different. Anyways, OpenAI (Tibo) said:

With the Claude Code shutdown. I am proud that we build Codex in the open with our OSS repo and we are 100% invested in supporting a flourishing ecosystem of agentic coding tools out there.

You can already build on top of https://github.com/openai/codex/tree/main/codex-rs/app-server directly, which includes ChatGPT login and same usage as you get in codex. Reach out if you are a builder!

We are working with OpenCode to allow Codex users to use their Codex subscriptions and usage limits in OpenCode directly. Also exploring how to support other awesome actors in the space.
