InternetDuckStation dev dropping support for Linux
And you can’t even fork it
Sure you can. Absolutely nothing actually prevents it.
License doesn’t allow you to do it
Who cares? The source is there. Do it anyways. DeCSS was technically illegal for ages in the US. VLC (not hosted in the US) still contained it to play DVDs.
“Not allowed” and “Can’t” are two VERY different things.
devfuuuThere’s a bunch of protections in fair use things that actually allowed or made that a very grey area, so end users could do it.
This is a bit pendantic, but GitHub’s TOS allows users to fork your public repositories. You couldn’t modify the new code under the dipshit license, but you can do whatever you want to the slightly older code under the good license.
The licence is not FOSS its its creative commons no derivatives meaning no forks its a source available licence
From the looks of it the version most people use (the one that comes in package managers) was already forked awhile ago from the version the dev did allow to be forked, and the official version hasn’t been used in package managers for awhile, because the second version was under a read only license and distros therefore couldn’t package it.
