minus-squarebrax@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down2·13 hours 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-squarefernandofig@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-26 hours 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.
