The TL;DR here is that Mark Pizzolato introduced an unpopular feature that silently turned disk images into containers. A few forks were started to remove this feature, resulting in Mark unilaterally changing the license to close the source.
Edit: Should clarify that Mark does NOT own the project, he owns only the GitHub presence, and has removed the ability of others to interfere in his takeover.

He has like 20x times the number of commits of the other contributors but only 2x the number of LOC of the other contributors. > Should clarify that Mark does NOT own the project Is the github repo just a mirror? Is it an old project migrated to github?
- Suzuran 4y agoIt's an old project migrated to GitHub. Bob Supnik (of DEC) is the original developer. SimH goes back more than two decades now.
- gus_massa 4y agoWhy can't they just register https://github.com/the-real-simh-the-other-is-totally-fake/simh https://github.com/the-real-simh-the-other-is-totally-fake/s... and continue from the clean version before the weird license change?
