    They also stole foss code though

    Edit: The above statement is probably untrue

          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

              Well, you’re doing pretty good in my book.

                    Understandable. Congrats on the Liberal Party’s victory. May Canadians never be Americans.

      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.

        They repackage it as proprietary in violation of the license
