Those are your own words. Unfortunately for you, Nintendo still lost. GPLv3 is a tweaked Copyright licensing agreement aptly nicknamed “Copyleft” with strict rights, Nintendo will never be able to kill the Hydra no matter what. They actually need to win to change the law, but they settled instead meaning section 107 of the DMCA, 1998 US copyright law goes unaltered and the original developers move on, and the community builds on top and alter the project, as per the rights granted by GPLv3. Perhaps a project that’d reach enough funding fast enough to challenge Nintendo may go for it, till then GPLv3 is a sleeping multi-headed dragon Nintendo hasn’t been able to stomp out.

Just because a license says something, doesn’t mean that it can go against laws and legislations or anything else like that lmfao.

Just like a landlord having a contract from you saying X or Y, if it goes against the law, it doesn’t protect them.

All of those subsequent ones will be fine from prosecution, until they start doing what yuzu did like making money, providing means to pirate and access to keys and guides. The protection is only going to last so long until the current loopholes are closed.

Or just don’t do illegal shit and you can stay in operation, Cistra and Yuzu were fine for a decade, than they went too far and fucked up.

You can scream all you want, the facts don’t care about when your “company” crosses the line and your probably legal project gets taken with it.

To bad, GPLv3 already has all the precedence and legal backing needed to keep going, Suyu lives, I wonder what the project will be renamed to next? 😏

And suyu will continue to live until they do what yuzu did and try to profit and do things illegally.
