- duskdozer 8mo agoThey would be concealing the violation.
- orthoxerox 8mo agoConsider TCC relicensing. They identified the files touched by contributors that wanted to keep the GPL license and reimplemented them. No team A/team B clean room approach used. The same happened here, but at a different scale. All files now have a new author and this author is free to change the license of his work.
- Orygin 8mo agoThe commits being public or not does not change the fact the developement was made as a derivative work of the original version.
