minus-squarebrax@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20arrow-down2·1 year 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-squareSturgist@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agohttps://lemmy.ca/comment/16203696 According to the comment posted above…they didn’t?
minus-squareSturgist@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoNo worries dude. At least you didn’t double down! 👍
minus-squaredaggermoon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoI’d like to think I’m big enough to admit when I’m wrong
minus-squareSturgist@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoWell, you’re doing pretty good in my book.
minus-squareSturgist@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoGoddamnit…I’m too polite to end the conversation…
minus-squareNikls94@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoHow can one steal foss code if it’s free and open source?
minus-squarefernandofig@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-21 year 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.
