ITT: people think emulators are only the ones you can download
In this comment: Someone who is not familiar with the history of Nintendo selling pirated versions of their own games and ripping off pirate emulators then passing them as their own.
Did the terms of the emulators they ripped off allow them to? Not saying it's morally okay.
or the history of nintendo falsely claiming that emulation itself was an illegal practice when trying to bully and scare people into submission...
if its under GPL couldn't they be forced to disclose the source code?
Only if they made modifications
What, where do you get that? Any publicly conveyed copies of gpl-licensed software must make their source code available, and be published under the same license. This is true regardless of modifications.
I could be wrong and I'm more then welcome to being proven that. But wouldn't this be like asking me to redistribute the whole process of running ZSNES on linux? Seems pretty infeasible.
