Gregory's Server@mrcopilot so in theory the copyright holder for whatever GPL library that game used could sue in hopes of getting the code released under a compatible license or to get the game pulled from distribution or collect damages or whatever else it is that people who file lawsuits hope to achieve

  @aeva A pre yocto arm embedded linux project on a brand new chip, it was a ton of education, fun, anxiety and finally triumph. The screen interface was a nightmare but the day that the first properly aligned tux boot screen appeared was indescribably joyous and as memorable as all 3 of my children's births. @aeva Well the first one was long since former and I couldn't really be bothered to ask. mrscopilot enjoys my excitement over all things tech and was there every night during the research development and bring up phases, so I suspect she was as relieved as I was proud & excited for the stress to break. The youngest gets me and grew up exclusively using Tux machines. She's a grown up mostly windows user now, but I still love her dearly, a little less, but very dearly. Typed via Windows 11 box |
@aeva I worked on a commercial device that shipped with some PC software & the embedded device sources were just packaged on that CD.
There was definitely no feasible way for the customer/end user or even manufacturer to update that code without removing a bunch of silicone and soldering on a serial interface, but you know, "letter of the law". Back then I was just happy to be putting another penguin off the end of a production line.
Now, I am conflicted with a few decisions made above me.
