From the linked comment it sounds like there was a license change in the projects history. I’m surprised the various distro packagers didn’t just collaborate on a renamed fork, unless there are more actively developed emulators still under a FLOSS licence?

I believe there is a fork from the last GPLv3 version called SwanStation.

How about we not bring anti-duckiness into here.

Someone raised the point you can’t change from GPLv3 if someone else touched the code and they don’t approve the change (unless you rewrite everything yourself). I’m not an expert but considering v3 is to avoid proprietary software more than v2, I would be very amused if this guy gets forced to admit it’s always been GPLv3 and he wasn’t allowed to set a restrictive license.

Not to break a few illusions of scholastic integrity, but when making a doctoral thesis, you’re not there to make friends. Social skills drop you go up the academic ladder, and it’s designed this way.
I’m not saying I sympathize either, but society doesn’t make it easier for masters to earn the doctorates. A simple “Who was your day, wanna go grab tea, hey let’s unwind at xyz” does resharpen social skills like you won’t believe.
