Ah this is sad, and makes me too want to avoid arduino. Wonder if those below would consider similar if they knew.

- sieabah 4y agoIt's open source, you can't really steal open source software unless it was never "free and open source" to begin with.

- iosjunkie 4y agoAssuming what lawyers say is a reflection of what the governing law states or allows for, yes? Want to reign in the lawyers? Start with your governments.
- jazzyjackson 4y agoYou can still be a jerk by making millions of dollars without crediting the work of your own grad student
- iostream24 4y agoAnd we can still piggyback a zillion projects off the IDE, the libraries and HAL, and other artifacts of this complicated and sometimes disgraceful software project, it’s not like using Nazi experiment data to engage in Arduino ecosystem pilferage, with proper credit given to {project name}
- gregsadetsky 4y agoI think that it's fair to consider Arduino's complicated history (the legal battles, the Wiring history, etc.) while also acknowledging how revolutionary it's been to hobbyist electronics. I'm not sure what would be improved by trying to avoid Arduino at this point. Especially considering that it has spawned a very large and versatile ecosystem: all of the open source libraries that have been created for it (some random amazing ones: [0], [1]), the compatible shields and accessories [2], tutorials & courses, etc. It remains an extremely important and useful platform, and for good reason.
