minus-squarebrax@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 months agoI see the headline and think “sooooo…?” I read the article and I’m left continuing with the same question… They’re trying to say that it’s built on a library full of Nintendo code. Whoop-de-fuck… Other than Nintendo, who cares? Why care? Libraries, SDKs, and drivers SHOULD be free and open source.

minus-squareNikls94@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoHow can one steal foss code if it’s free and open source?
minus-squarefernandofig@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-25 months agoNot quite “steal”, but they removed license and attribution information, which is a no-no and license infringement for sure. But yeah, this is all of no consequence. Edit: I just read DacoTaco’s post below. Looks like there was no direct code liftup from RTEMS then, so I guess it’s even more of a fuss over nothing.

minus-squareSturgist@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoWell, you’re doing pretty good in my book.
