    Does them working on the project voluntairly, makes them be able to steal code from non-opensource projects, ignore licenses and do other shit like that? If the answer is no, why does working on the project voluntairly lets them break the law in other ways?

      That’s a lot of incorrect assumptions there.

      They didn’t steal any code. They didn’t ignore licenses either. In fact, the only reason they had a judgment ruled against them is because they were taking monetary donations. Which was interpreted as “profiting”.

      They reverse engineered a process without stealing anything. They didn’t even circumvent DRM, which is actually protected by law on the grounds of creating personal backups and data/software preservation.

      You’re either very ignorant on the subject or you just ate up Nintendo’s BS.

        I was talking hypothetically. Are they allowed to do that? If not, then they cannot be noncompliant with GDPR, simple as.
