it's more nuanced than that. Claude is made from stolen code, but it generally isn't going to copy its training data verbatim (unless specifically told to). so copyright wise it's more grey than strictly wrong. and though claude is made from stolen code, lutris developers are writing something they give off freely to the world, they are not profiting from the stolen code.
does this make it ok? i don't know. what if they use an open weights model rather than a closed one? would that be more acceptable?
No, open weights changes nothing. Using stolen material is. Especially for a GPL project, a licence normally used to scare off corporate vultures. Why should anyone respect lutris' licence, when they gave up on the authorship of their own product?
