monkey VS bevy_retro

Code that's hard to test is just bad code. And unlike most dynamic languages you can't just override some internals in Go (though there are some arcane hacks you can pull of but only at full moon https://github.com/bouk/monkey).

This person did not read the license of the original library https://github.com/bouk/monkey/blob/master/LICENSE.md

I am a new gopher. I was looking into the Monkey Patching module and it is archived now. I was wondering if there is an alternative for that.

Here is an example of this in Go - but as he says, don't actually do this. https://github.com/bouk/monkey

I discovered this lib a few days ago. https://github.com/bouk/monkey it allows you to monkey patch entire functions, replacing them by whatever you want. Perfect for mocking. It's simple to use. The program is hard patching the code using assembly to replace the function address at runtime. You should not use this lib out of your tests since it's absolutely not safe. It's only compatible with linux and windows. But it works great!

There are programming projects[1] out there that use licenses to prevent people from using projects in ways the authors don't agree with. You could also argue that GPL does the same thing (prevents people from using/distributing the software in the way they would like).

Whether you consider it moral doesn't seem relevant, only to respect the wishes of the author of such programs.

A "copyleft" licence such as GPL requires any software that uses it to also be licensed under GPL or equivalent. Then there's more esoteric licences such as Katharos.

speaking of, check the lisence on this bad boy: https://github.com/katharostech/bevy_retro
