On August 30, 2015 Hyperion Entertainment CVBA released a new version of the AmigaOS Software Development Kit (SDK). One of the newly included components is called btree.library. I created the original btree.library to be part of MorphOS in early 2000s. Development material for this library was released as a part of the MorphOS Software Development Kit.
At least two files included in the AmigaOS Software Development Kit contain my intellectual property without my consent. The files contain only trivial changes such as removal of the copyright notice.
https://sintonen.fi/amigaos-sdk-copyright-infringement/Small update: I've of course reported this issue to Hyperion Entertainment CVBA already.
At best, it Illustrates a "no questions asked" approach to quality control and scrutiny when accepting contributions.
The possibilities get worse from there.
With a real company one might expect an internal audit, at least of that contributor's submissions. With the deliberate removal of copyright notices though... Not even sure how that could take place. In the real world that behaviour would likely result in a job loss.
