this martin guy is the same one who made the asahi linux drama a thing and brigaded torvalds?

yeah. fuck that guy. i don't care what he has to say about some 20 year old code that nobody cares if it was decompiled from ninty's sdk or not. nintendo isn't even making a fuss about it! this is all just martin scrambling for more attention, again.

Tldr: Martin complained the code was stolen/reverse engineered from Nintendo SDK, also copied from RTEMS, which is an open source project with BSD 2 clause license. For the latter, there's considerable resistance to admitting that.

Frankly, if the 2nd case, of RTEMS code being used, is true, just do the proper attribution and be done with it. I don't think even Nintendo would go after the project today for the use of RE SDK code

I…don’t think I understand this headline.

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's saying that some new allegations surrounding libogc, a low level library used extensively in Wii and Gamecube homebrew, call the ethics and possibly the legality of any project using the library into question.

The headline itself could be a little more clear, but it makes sense after reading the article.
