They also stole foss code though

Edit: The above statement is probably untrue

My bad

No worries dude. At least you didn't double down! 👍

I'd like to think I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong

How can one steal foss code if it’s free and open source?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago

They repackage it as proprietary in violation of the license

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.
