I feel like this isn't really framing the issue fairly. The issue isn't that Sony couldn't use GPL code, there is no law preventing them from doing so, they just choose not to (for a variety of reasons, I'd imagine). Jus

I'd guess that most simply don't care as this is really just an issue for the company, not the author. If the project is licensed with MIT/BSD it still isn't really likely that the company will contribute/donate

I guess that depends on the definition of "complete". Games back then tended to ship with whole features simply not working. The already mentioned Final Fantasy series comes to mind, I think Diablo 2 shipped with a Holy Fire Aura

Yes, exactly. This code basically runs at compile time and creates functions that return static results. This case doesn't have to be wrapped inside of the quote thing (I'm not even sure if it would compile if you did...), which i

The unquote in your code example doesn't necessarily need to be unquoted, it would be enough to unquote the codepoint variable here. The point, I guess, is about at what point you want to evaluate the code. There is a great little fu
