> I do slightly favour defcon in this mess

I do favour Entropic slightly. Simply because DEFCON being the larger entity has more power in the situation to dictate terms, and also because the end result favours DEFCON. They have their badges using the work Entropic put into them.

But I recognise that this is entirely feel and vibe based. Which is not the proper basis to decide anything.

> Why did the firmware engineer add a crypto beg for a "joke".

He seen the relationship between EE and DEFCON going bad, and decided that it is not okay and took a stance to protest it. Half of his stance was the screen in the firmware, the other half was him making a scene at the main stage.

If he didn’t do that we wouldn’t know about the issue.

If the terms were clarified before the contract was signed, i don’t really see this point. If you sign a contract to do something, it doesn’t matter how much power the other party has. If you don’t like the terms they dictate, don’t take them as a customer. And once there is a contract, the terms should be locked in.
