according to wayback machine the domain expired at the end of 2021. Months later it came back with the sneaky ad. Their page at github https://includeos.github.io/ does not have it. It is safe to assume whoever grabbed the domain has no association to the authors.

Project has been dead for many years now btw.

You're completely right. It's a squatter and he wants money. The project is not dead, however. It's currently used for research at University of Oslo, and I think we can expect much more activity in the coming years, such as ARM support.

I might add RISC-V support myself, as I am the author of libriscv. We'll see.

If someone bought the domain and is re-using the same assets to put advertisements up then the author of includeos would have some real teeth in courts...

Yes, we have spoken to a lawyer and it is indeed the case. It still costs money, and we are not sure how to proceed yet, outside of removing links to the domain.

Code doesn't die. Especially code targetting the c abi.
