I don’t really see why getting attribution for a free project is so important to some people but if that’s what they want over people “stealing” their work (which will happen anyway) so be it.
Seems like this only applies from this month onward, I would think a fork will happen sooner or later using the current/two weeks ago source that was still GPL.
If they found out it goes to a specific server, why not just block the server and maybe isolate the network from the internet? I guess its easier to replace them but what’s to say the replacements can’t have the same flaw if other precautions aren’t in place, like how do you even get to installing cameras on military bases without thoroughly vetting the firmware on them fist?
