Love it, even has a web browser!

Finally, some simple, lightweight, non-patronizing software. Definitively going to try it out soon.

But they do have forum which seems fairly active I don't see why they need to have Facebook. I am guessing it will have pretty niche crowd which probably don't frequents to fb.

This is a fork of MenuetOS [0]. The author of MenuetOS (Ville M. Turjanmaa) does not appear thrilled about the fork and has put the 64bit version under a proprietary license [1].

This is not criticism, just a statement.

Based on a face-value reading of the text above, it paints it as copyright violation.

That doesn't imply it's [entirely] true, but it certainly warrants some analysis. It's not clear what exactly happened without digging. As of today, one of the core files (`kernel.asm`[¹]) is clear about licensing, but the history may have been "not straightforward".

Someone needs to write those tools, why do you think sites like https://godbolt.org/ exist?
