Has anyone at microsoft watched this github page?

https://github.com/cmuratori/refterm

And this guys video?

If it is as simple as this guy claims. And he has reference code up on github that shows how to fix these issues.

Then why hasn't anybody taken the time to implement this into the windows terminal project?

Heck, I'd like to give it a go myself if I can find the time.

EDIT: I just read the entire thread and am now more aware of the situation.
Isn't it possible since it is open source software, to just look at the code and write your own implementation without copying any of the original work? I mean, I don't know if it counts as stealing someone's work if it was an entire rewrite from scratch. In fact, most software written proprietary is software that reimplemented a same type of feature already present in open source software. Remember exFat? I really hope it won't come to that.

To be honest, I think the author is correct in saying that if you're a giant multi billion dollar corporation. It's quite laughable that you can't have an employee do some research and figure out what to do from there considering their paycheck as a developer at a multi billion dollar corporation. Also considering the fact that microsoft has all of this money and resources to spend and still need people to contribute for free instead of simply paying them for an implementation. I'm pretty sure the original author that figured out how to do that is willing to help out for a reasonable price ;-)

In the spirit of open source, which is so heavily emphasized by microsoft that they love and care about so much, what is wrong with a GPLv2 license?

I mean it's a single guy with a few days of research and work he did as a hobby to proof a point vs a multi billion dollar corporation with literally thousands of developers...

I really hope you'll do the honorable thing and reward this man for his efforts and not do the aforementioned.
