>it is madness to require so many acknowledgements
Really? Madness? "We started with VS Code to develop our IDE...".
Oh, so onerous.
A thank you to the principle developers is a minimum if you're using someone else's work commercially and aren't an asshole.
No it's not a legal requirement, it's just about being a good part of society.
- kccqzy 11mo agoYes, madness. VS Code wasn’t developed entirely by Microsoft. It uses plenty of other open source libraries. Why is it that VS Code should be acknowledged but not the underlying V8 engine, or Chromium, or WebKit or KHTML? Stallman said that in 1997 there were 75 acknowledgements in a single piece of software. With today’s trend of micro libraries on npm, there will be at least thousands of acknowledgements in one piece of software.
