Continuing with the case of the violation of the GPLv3 license of the<br>
Nightwing firmware [1], the LUGRo-Mesh Team has continued to<br>
investigate Mr. Scott Kamp and was able to find that it is not the<br>
first time that he make abuses of Copyright.<br>
<br>
Searching in Google, we could find information about the MicroBSD<br>
Fiasco occurred in 2003.<br>
<br>
This fiasco is about the fork of OpenBSD called MicroBSD [2]. In this<br>
case the claim came from Theo de Raadt [3], among others, because of<br>
the failure to respect the Copyright of OpenBSD.<br>
<br>
The MicroBSD project was led by a user with nick Outback Dingo<br>
(<a href="mailto:dingo@microbsd.net">dingo@microbsd.net</a>), called Scott Kamp. Oh coincidence :)<br>
<br>
<br>
References about this fact:<br>
<br>
In the list openbsd-misc you can read e-mails on this fact, some<br>
interesting are:<br>

>From the last one we rescued the final conclusion of David Riley:<br>
“…I think the idea behind MicroBSD’s work (a fork) was perfectly valid<br>
and acceptable… right up to the point where they took credit for other<br>
peoples’ work.”<br>
<br>
Which applies perfectly to what happened with the Orion Mesh fiasco.<br>
<br>
As proof of the disrespect of the Copyright:<br>

<br>
In all the cases you can continue reading the rest of the e-mails that<br>
are part of the respective threads and learn more about the subject.<br>
<br>
Another fact that came was the closing of the MicroBSD project[4]. The<br>
same thing happened with Orion: remove all references to the project,<br>
remove the code, invent excuses, and say untruths so he can look like<br>
the victim of what happened.<br>
<br>
The behavior of OutBackDingo: not respecting the Copyright, spamming<br>
in forum to praise his "product", giving false excuses, to always try<br>
to be the "victim", and so was then and now. Which shows that the<br>
procedure that this "person" has is common and chronic.<br>
