Some reasons might include: not liking what the person asking for it is intending to do, not liking that said person threatened to "destroy the project," that they threatened developers, etc. I don't know that these are Sorg's reasons. They would be mine.

If it doesn't violate any licenses or agreements then no big deal. I don't really see how releasing it would harm the main project though, it's not like any changes would be approved of they weren't agreed on.

But why would you help someone who wants to do something you'd rather they not do when they've behaved so badly?

Letting 1 person spoil things for others is silly. It would be helping anyone that wanted to look at it or improve it, or build off it. Open is open, community is community. If it doesn't violate any of the lic's, then no big deal, just seems more petty than logical.

Which others? And what is being spoiled? Sorg is focused on maintaining the framework and helping the FPGA stuff. To me, this is as it should be.

Any others? No one is answering the point though.. Is the current ways complying with all open source agreements and licenses that pertain to what it's borrowing from? If so, then it's a null topic. If not, why?

Sorg gives a lot of time to this project and if he doesn't want to do something, I don't need any better answer from him than "I don't want to." I have a lot of good reasons why I wouldn't help those people but Sorg doesn't need a reason. It's his time.

That's cool and all but I'm not really asking that nor going that direction. I'm simply just wondering if the project complies with the licenses and standards set forward from other projects that are borrowed from.

Replying to @40wattrange @sentientsixp and
This question literally has nothing to do with any person and just the project itself and if it's needing the guidelines that are agreed upon by sampling other projects. GPL or whatever else applies here

IANAL my understanding is MiSTer doesn’t violate any licenses. But like RHEL, they don’t provide assistance (via buildroot) if you wanted to compile it all into a working MiSTer yourself. But the GPL doesn’t require them to. Might be cool if they did, but not hard to DIY

Busybox binary requires them too... go talk to an actual lawyer ;) so does their removal of GPL headers from other peoples work. Your understanding clearly didn’t include reading GPL wording.
