Games

TL;DR:

• They will avoid monetization

• They will avoid providing step-by-step guides to play games on the emulator (I assume they mean extracting games from the console using hacked tools)

• They will avoid providing keys or circumvent DRM, you'll have to get everything from your Switch

• The devs are upset at how much attention they're getting which is kind of ironic considering the article.

"We wanted to fly under the radar at the start [...] It's already much more widespread than ideal for the current stage of development."

One thing is for sure: no other fork will have a name this good.

They could start by developing in the open and not in some shitty discord group.

the Suyu development team has decided to avoid "any monetization,"

Should of always been like that

SueYou is an awesome name for N**tendo emulator

Still the same Contributor License Agreement as Yuzu to make proprietary versions. They've learned nothing.

This is one of the most clever names I've seen for an emulator.

So how long until Nintendo tries to claim copyright to the code that was previously open source and threaten to sue the Suyu team just to scare them into settling?

You know what's a really good defence: Not being based in the fucking US.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

"Suyu currently exists in a legal gray area we are trying to work our way out of," contributor and Discord moderator Sharpie told Ars in a recent interview.

The Suyu project arose out of "a passion for Switch emulation" and a desire not to see "years of impressive work by the Yuzu team go to waste," Sharpie said.

But that passion is being tempered by a cautious approach designed to avoid the legal fate that befell the project's predecessor.

The Suyu devs have also been warned against "providing step-by-step guides" like the ones that Yuzu offered for how to play copyrighted games on their emulator.

Those guides were a major focus of Nintendo's lawsuit, as were some examples of developer conversations in the Yuzu Discord that seemed to acknowledge and condone piracy.

Suyu, by contrast, is taking an extremely hard line against even the hint of any discussion of potential piracy on its platforms.

The original article contains 297 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 48%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

All that needs to be asked of them is "are you willing to pay the court costs associated with Nintendo taking you to court, and then the millions of dollars to Nintendo if you lose?". If not then they shouldn't even touch it, because Nintendo will come after them.
