Any dev can fork it and do the work themselvesEdit: Project is licenced to disallow forks (but that wouldn’t stop the community from supporting linux builds, see my comment further down the chain)
I don’t know if you missed the comment referring to it, but the dev deliberately changed the license to his source code to prevent forks, so I was being sarcastic, and the dev is indeed being a stupid dipshit suffering from the consequences of their own actions.
Looks like you can’t distribute a modified version of the project (e.g. a fork), but it wouldn’t stop anyone contributing to or distributing a separate project that users could run locally to patch duckstation’s build process where they can now build it on and for their own machines.
A build patch wouldn’t contain any copyrighted material, so anyone could contribute and distribute it.
Ironic considering that’s how many emulator get around legal issues. Emulators distribute virtual machines, but they don’t distribute the copyrighted material.

The licence is a creative commons licence and hasn’t been changed in 11 months.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about
You tell us.
