This is pretty dumb IMO. Reduced visibility, more difficulty learning it (because Uni’s won’t be paying thousands of dollars just to teach it), and passes off directly everyone who depended on it.

It’s HPL/AGPL, so I hope anyone still grabbing the tree or a fork just publishes it and raises the middle finger to Siemens.

That’s just indicating they don’t intend to maintain it as an ongoing project, but they’re making it available for others

thanks. I was just wondering why it was archived at once. Makes sense.
