    Edit: The above statement is probably untrue

            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?

        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
