But presumably the port touches the proprietary bits. So either A) that interface is not allowed to be distributed under the MIT license and they have a problem with Nintendo or B) the interface is fine to publish under MIT so why not make it more available?
- TillE 3y agoIt's comparable to how open source code can also be patent-encumbered. It's MIT licensed but Nintendo's NDA still applies. The license can't supersede that.
- s17n 3y agoI feel like the license definitely can supersede that - you obviously wouldn't be GPL compliant if you required everyone who got access to your code to sign an NDA, for example.
- ronsor 3y agoNintendo's NDA would only apply to people that signed the NDA. If some third party acquired the code without signing the NDA, the NDA shouldn't apply to them.
