>It's very unlikely that it's code stealing as the codebases shouldn't be anywhere near compatible
this is bullshit spread by Tupper for a long fucking time. Of cause they can't copy the entire thing and expect it to work but the inner workings are the same.
Take LFS for example. That code could have easily been incorporated. Hell it was ported to CVR in days. They could have asked the guy for a licensing exemption for years. He would have agreed. Now it's not so easy.
Same for the anti crashers which hook into unity engine code. There is no re-inventing the wheel. They either steal his code (possible), reverse engineer Unity themselves (unlikely) or just don't do anything and the game keeps crashing (very likely).
They could have asked for an exemption but didn't because they just don't care.
