      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.
