Homebrew Channel Source Code Repository Reveals Massive Copyright Infringement
2025-04-29
The source code repository for the Wii homebrew software, The Homebrew Channel, has been released, but its core library, libogc, has been exposed for massive copyright infringement. The libogc developers not only stole proprietary Nintendo code but also an open-source RTOS, RTEMS, removing all attribution and copyright information. The developers ignored inquiries, even resorting to abuse and deleting comments to avoid accountability. Due to the severity of the copyright issues, the project is archived and further development is discouraged. The incident underscores the importance of respecting copyright and adhering to legal regulations.
