Whelp, they’re lucky Nintendo didn’t care enough. Wondering what prompted this?
Looks like someone decompiled it and compared it to RTEMS code.
What I don't get is that RTEMs appears to be dual licensed, with one being under BSD... So they would just need to attribute somewhere and then they would be fully compliant.
Maybe the bigger picture is more complicated than that though.
Its not more complicated. I guarantee you some of the devs have beef with each other behind the scenes long before this, and this is just the scapegoat for it. That's always what happens with these FOSS projects with more than one person working on them.
And its almost always over the dumbest things like "they liked X tweet on Twitter I don't like" or "they didn't do something I wanted."
They were complicit in allowing the supposed shady code for a long time, what suddenly changed? Its not incredibly hard to imagine.
