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?

Edit yep it was GPLv3 about 11 months ago: https://github.com/stenzek/duckstation/commit/7f4e5d55dbdef5a50e0aa4994f667fb03d854928

    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.
