I wonder whether Sony has ever contributed anything to FreeBSD codebase or the FreeBSD foundation.

    AFAIK it’s common knowledge that the PlayStation and the Switch use elements of the BSD software stack.

    That may not automatically imply 100% contribution, since the license allows them to use, modify and ship those elements without giving them back to the community.

      Thus the angry fans on the forum.

        I’ve never understood that from BSD people. I mean that’s how the license is, what do they expect? 😁
