@gamingonlinux but the source is still there, the binaries are still available, and I could still build the package from source for myself, right? right???  @treyfordham @gamingonlinux yup, the code is still viewable and buildable, it just affects how the code can be distributed and modified is all. @gamingonlinux eh, if this is what he has to do to prevent the emulator taking over his real life, so be it.   @gamingonlinux i don't think they actually know how the gpl works, because i'm pretty sure you can't do that @lime if you have the agreement of contributors, you can do whatever you want, it's your project, but anyone can also fork from when it was gpl and continue it  @gamingonlinux This should restrict companies like Ubuntu or Red Hat from making it available in their repos, AFAIK. Bummer.  @gamingonlinux I think it's kinda understandable when your free software, is being used for cheap retro devices for a quick buck. Still wish there was a better way to handle this. @gamingonlinux Dick move but its kinda understandable given that RetroArch essentially distributes his work w/o forking or contributing. |
@gamingonlinux oh no
