Even if he shuts down the emulator, the code is out there forever. Can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube. Was this guy born yesterday?

What do you mean? This analogy doesn’t make sense for whats happening here.

He’s trying to avoid crap like SwanStation

Even if he shuts down the emulator, the code is out there forever. He will be playing whackamole with forks and various other projects just like Nintendo does. The analogy absolutely works for what’s happening.

What’s the problem with SwanStation? Forks are perfectly okay and normal with the GPL, that’s the fucking point of the GPL.

That’s exactly why they’re changing the license. The problem with Swanstation are the developers. Retroarch in general has some pretty horrible people maintaining it and this isn’t the first time they’ve harassed an emulator dev over nothing.
