No commercial use can be pretty valid. You might not want some big company using your software.

(Not that that applies so much to a PS1 emulator.)

Apparently some companies were modifying and packaging Duckstation in commercial products without contributing their changes back into the project which seems to be what ticked him off this time

That’s kinda the point of FOSS - that free to use means free to use.

That being said, the only times I see the downsides of this policy is when downstream messes with software on a permissive license, then doesn’t support users when the stuff they messed with fucks up - Usually Linux distros rebuilding software to use fucked up dependencies.

the main dev is talented but has a history of being a diva with a Galt complex. One of the reasons I’ve stuck with Mednafen aside from the goofy redditor glazing that put me off from trying duckstation in the first place.
