Looking at the license file, it has this exception tacked onto the end:
> EXCEPTION: The above license does not apply to files located in the directory
`sp-client/public/assets`. Those files are the property of Siementech Co. Ltd
or whoever has inherited the intellectual property thereof, and are excluded
from the MIT license grant above.
Is the general idea there that people can build the code and use the assets in personal projects, but if they want to distribute a full bundle they'll need to create their own assets?
Yes, the assets are property of a defunct company, so yeah, if you want to do it properly, I wouldn't advise distributing it with their assets, unless you can track them down and license the IP.
This project was mainly developed for Helbreath community as a modernisation project, a community which has ran private servers (illegally) as long as licensed servers have existed. The original developer never seemed to care for illegal use of their IP, even when they were in business. I'm aware of 2 cease and desist requests being sent to HB Olympia (commercial) and HB Nemesis (Steam listed) private servers and they are still both operating. Either they managed to license the IP, which I'm not aware of, or the request came from HB Korea server, which is the only licensed server left, and as a licensee they probably don't have the rights to the actual IP, hence the requests were ignored. I'm just speculating here. I'm not trying to encourage anyone here to do the same, just trying to explain the situation around the IP.
Quite a lot of popular, widely deployed firewalls are based upon FreeBSD.
And for them it's a problem that miniPCs well suited for firewall use have been been coming out (for a while now) using this chipset. Which FreeBSD didn't support.
So for those projects, this may provide an avenue of hope or future potential. ;)

The "eventual human-scale emulation" and "human brains next" would have to be raising ethics concerns about digital slavery (and worse) for the emulated human.
That goal seems pretty far down the wrong track of "just because we could, without asking if we should". o_O
HN does detect direct duplicates upon submission (ie same url).
But in instances like this one where it's different articles about the same topic, there's presently no real detection. I'm not sure there should be either, with them being different articles and all.
Well, it suited my tastes anyway. :)
