Why can’t I view GitHub on mobile without having to sign in to the app. I don’t want to sign in to the app; I don’t remember my password; I can’t be bothered to authenticate. Bad UX.

#22Strange that Microsoft used OP's project in their game, but didn't bother to let him know.
This is kind of the nature of open source though; I use tons of open source software and libraries every day, also for my clients, without letting the maintainers of the software and libraries know.
That said, I do advocate for companies doing financial contributions to open source where possible.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
It’s MIT licensed. They don’t need to ask. They need to add his name to credits and/or send an email about what they did. It’s basic courtesy (plus MIT license, if you prefer).
You need to use 3 or 4 clause BSD not MIT if you want to get in credits.
courtesy cannot be enforced, that's the point.

1982? Was that version already 3D? That's earlier than I thought.

I don't have an app (why would I want an app? I can't imagine pushing changes from my phone), it let me on just fine.

Then… maybe don’t put it on GitHub with a MIT license?

They have an open source project they are happy about being included in the current version of the game and you're the one mad about it.
