"The authors of libog didn't just steal proprietary Nintendo code, but also saw it fit to steal an open source RTOS and remove all attribution and copyright information," continues the statement. "This goes far beyond ignorance about the copyright implications of reverse engineering Nintendo binaries, and goes straight into outright deliberate, malicious code theft [and] copyright infringement."

It is claimed that the developers of libogc are "not interested in tracking this issue, finding a solution, nor informing the community of the problematic copyright status of the project" and that when the team behind The Homebrew Channel filed an issue on Github, it was "immediately closed" and met with "verbal abuse" before being "completely deleted from public view."
