Huh. That thread really makes it sound like KolibriOS has violated if not law (which may not apply everywhere) then certainly the ethics of authorship credit on derivative works. You don't just remove and replace copyright statements on someone else's licensed work. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html specifically says: "If you have copied code from other programs covered by the same license, copy their copyright notices too."
- tagrun 9y agoYou're cherry picking one comment from one side of the story. That's not the picture I got reading the entire discussion. For example somebody pointed out that the original copyright has actually been kept: http://websvn.kolibrios.org/filedetails.php?repname=Kolibri+OS&path=%2Fkernel%2Ftrunk%2Fkernel.asm http://websvn.kolibrios.org/filedetails.php?repname=Kolibri+...
