MUI "5" is a non-issue, as MUI 4/5 is completely useless outside of MorphOS. It was used to compile Odyssey for OS4, but that project seems dead now. Other than that, no software outside of MorphOS (and very little MorphOS software) actually requires it.

If Jens and Thore want to continue working on it (and urinate all over other peoples' copyright with every release) - fine, it's their spare time. The rest of us only need to worry about it once YAM - Jens' and Thore's other project - starts requiring it. But since YAM's open source, that could be easily fixed (provided there's still somebody left who cares, once that happens).

If MorphOS developers felt they were being "peed on", they would react, I'm sure

They did, repeatedly. In public.

the conflict between the MUI for AOS developers and certain MOS enthusiasts is well-known and unfortunate, but it does not need to be stirred up every single time there is a thread about MUI.

Yes it does. As long as they violate other people's copyrights, it needs be brought up. At least in the world I live in.

Jens just confirmed in a German forum that he and Thore copied the Autodocs from the MorphOS releases and that they did not have a license to do so. He said lots of other things aswell, of course, which could be summarised as "you're all stupid" and "I had good reason to do what I did" - but the important part is that he's distributing stuff he shouldn't be distributing.
