    pull a WordPress and force a TOS in the license to say you cannot be affiliated with Nintendo in any way in order to use this software.

    they want to emulate their hardware? then they can build their own emulator.

      I believe they do have their own emulator. It logically would be what powers the Nintendo arcade

        folks thought the same for the Genesis and Atari flashbacks but some tinkering found they were using FOSS emulation. IMO FOSS projects should start charging companies that use their products dependent on scale.

          I assume most FOSS emulators have a non-commercial license, so if a company is using it to make money they are already violating the law, but who is gonna go after Nintendo for that?

          Agreed I would totally support emus using a business software license just because of how they’re treated by business.
