Yes, there are ways to copy code from an open source software without violating the copyright of the original author. The most common way is to use a “license swap” where you transfer or "relicense" the copied code under an open source license that allows you to freely modify and distribute it. Additionally, some open source licenses (e.g. MIT License) allow unrestricted usage as long as the original authors are credited.

Yes, you can download and use open source software without violating the copyright of the original author. However, if you make changes to the code or upload it to a public server, you should attribute the original author(s) by including their name (or pseudonym) and a link to their project in your repository description. This will ensure that everyone knows what code is from who and allow for easier collaboration down the line.
