itt: a bunch of entitled Linux youths that don’t understand burnout or QOL.

dude has set a limit to what he wants or is willing to do. still gets called a bitch for defining the line and is still called an asshole.

some of y’all even bring up multiple cases of other foss devs doing/saying the same thing, continue to call them assholes.

🤔 There’s a pattern here…but I’m just too blinded by the brilliancy of my distro to see it…

I just cannot wrap my head around an emulator dev who isn't daily driving Linux...

I’m all for jerking around on Windows folks to use Linux in jest and fun, but to purposely shit on a major contributor of any foss for not using Linux makes my blood boil.

honestly, I hope the dev reads this and takes my advice.

as a Linux guy, run dude. fuck these assholes. they don’t deserve you time, your talent, or your efforts. gank your shit, rewrite the license, and block any Linux use. and make sure you call out the distro(s) responsible. sometimes assholes have to be put in their place to learn anything. even then, if history tells us anything they’re just going to go poison some other poor dev and forget about you.

The original code was GPL which he illegally re-licensed to creative commons.

If you are the copyright owner you can relicense any way you want learn some copyright law.

This is true, but it’s also true that the older gpl versions can’t be revoked.

Well yes and no you can release them going forward under a new licence. If you obtained your copy under the old license you can use it under the old license when you obtain a new copy you have a new license agreement. Thats absolutly possible to do Revoking licenses is alot harder though and changing the lizens from a foss on to another is often confusing and business inapropiate. However it is legal.

Assuming newer versions are derived from code that was licensed GPL in the old version, the newer versions (which include new code) are also licensed GPL, whether the person writing the new code likes it or not.
