To be clear: Rockchip is at fault, 100%. I would sue (and obv DMCA) any company who takes my code and refuses to attribute it.
But there's a difference between "refuses" and "apologizes and admits confusion" and then forgets because lazy / or pretends to forget, and will likely fix it if you remind them.
Escalation can be gradual: reminder, warning, final warning, then nuclear.
Or, you immediately escalate to [DMCA / court] and that's very fair, but suddenly like 2 years after silence (if, and only if that was the case, because maybe they spoke outside of Twitter/X).
That way, others know you defend your territory and that compliance is rewarded.
I think here it is a final warning stage (nuclear would be court, which could and should be an option).
