Yes, I was not informed about it. But I think that's fair. I didn't ask them either before I published the project. Please, don't make it a license issue. I developed it for fun.
- runetech 4y agoIn that case - please have more fun ;-) Thank you - I really enjoyed the flashback to my childhood you provided me just now!
- ilyt 4y agoWell, the MIT license worked exactly as it was written.
- low_tech_love 4y agoWhat about "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."?
- iso1631 4y agoWere the flight simulators you can play on that github page originally MIT licensed?
- low_tech_love 4y agoNo, but I was just commenting about the license itself. At any rate, this is obviously not a regular thing to begin with.
- int_19h 4y agoMost likely, it is included in some kind of ThirdPartyNotices.txt that ships with the game. It's actually pretty hard to sneak third party F/OSS under the radar in the company of this size - there's automated code scanners, among other things, and while they can't catch everything, they sure can flag a copy of a public project on GitHub.
- lupire 4y agoWhat's an example of tool that scans binaries for matches with open source software?
- ar_lan 4y agoI don’t think you’ll find one. Most of these operate on the source code and its declared dependencies.
- omegabravo 4y agoPretty sure Black Duck does that

- MostlyInnocent 4y agoI'm pretty sure that declaring https://github.com/s-macke/FSHistory/tree/master/data https://github.com/s-macke/FSHistory/tree/master/data to be MIT-licensed does not actually make it so... (these are disk images of the relevant FS releases, which are still under copyright as well as provided under a proprietary MIT-incompatible license) TL;DR: A Microsoft contractor basically endorsed piracy, in a weirdly-recursive-enough-to-be-legal way...
- Suzuran 4y agoUnfortunately, all things must become a license issue if licenses are to be taken seriously. License compliance is a binary condition, you either comply completely or fail.
- thesuitonym 4y agoIn this case, since the code was MIT licensed, Microsoft is in compliance.

- pjc50 4y agoIs the whole emulator your work? That's quite impressive.
