I 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.
They also stole foss code though
Edit: The above statement is probably untrue
How can one steal foss code if it’s free and open source?
Not 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.
