Is it clear whether it's a "fork" (i.e. the entirety or a significant portion of the code is used in the derivative work), or whether they just found some utility snippet in an open source project and forgot to wash it?

- zucker42 5y agoChinese companies operating in the U.S. are subject to U.S. copyright law.

- alkonaut 5y agoIf this is just a snippet copied then I assume the settlement will be “oops, the beta contained a class with code but we removed it” (I.e anonymized the code). If it’s more substantial use of the OBS code then I guess it could be more involved. My money is on that there won’t even be a legal process.
