As much as I like duckstation and am glad that its source code remains publicly available, its move from GPL-3 to a highly restrictive no-derivative license last month [0] means that supporting new platforms or features or fixing bugs that might pop up on new versions of OS can't be adapted to the latest versions of the code.
Changing the license will only hurt legitimate users, as nefarious people who fork and rebrand and charge for such programs have a tendency to be unscrupulous and don't care what the license says.
It would be nice if they would grant non-commercial non-monetary derivatives at least, so people who want to fix code after the author moves on can do so in an honorable manner.
