Edit: As said in the article, apparently the DuckStation maintainer painstakingly replaced every piece of GPL-licensed code instead of using a CLA, which he was aware of. Props, I guess.

He specifically said he is against taking copyright away from the developers that wrote the code. The way you commented on the CLA issue reads as though you intentionally left this part out, as his legitimate reasoning for it would go against your views on the matter.

Please accurately represent the people you are quoting next time.

I did not comment on any issue, not sure what you're talking about. He is taking them away because the other developers' code is no longer part of the project.

instead of using a CLA, which he was aware of. Props, I guess.

With this sentence here, you brushed off a very valid reason to not use a CLA, and then failed to mention that reason in your comment.

Oh, I skipped over the word “against”, sorry. His views don’t necessarily contradict mine and I didn’t mean to say as if he were somehow wrong to not use a CLA.
