If you're talking about Dolphin, read the article again. Nobody refused, but a few people couldn't be contacted - unlike Linux, Dolphin has never required real names from contributors, so this mostly consisted of a few people who contributed under an alias a few years ago before utterly vanishing from the Internet. EDIT: disregard; didn't see the graph, and wasn't previously aware of the one person who refused. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9600204 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9600204 for the correct answer.

Looking at the graph mouseover, I think 10 contributors refused to relicense. Their contributions were removed from the codebase.

  Incorrect. One contributor refused while 10 we were unable to contact.

> read the article again. Nobody refused, but a few people couldn't be contacted No. Ten were uncontactable, and one refused. "Refused and Code Rewritten - 1/202" "Unable to Contact - 10/202" From the descriptions of the red and black slices of the pie chart - https://dolphin-emu.org/m/user/blog/relicensing/relicensepie.svg https://dolphin-emu.org/m/user/blog/relicensing/relicensepie...

I read it. And it's still confusing because of this graph (from the article): https://dolphin-emu.org/m/user/blog/relicensing/relicensepie.svg https://dolphin-emu.org/m/user/blog/relicensing/relicensepie... Note: "0.5% Refused. Code Rewritten" If you mouse over that graphic in the article it says 1 person refused. However, the article otherwise completely ignores that 1 person... (unless I missed it, both times ;) )

  they Probably do not want to générale (further ?) Drama by publicly pointing fingers.

Hm? The graph on the page shows 4.5% of contacts being marked as "Unable to contact", while it shows a very small 0.5% as "Refused, Code Rewritten". Or is this graph wrong?
