The people who will be most happy to have it would be the wiimmfi team and the devs running pokemon classic network.
They can finally see what the implementation of gen 5 ranked battles and game sync was, instead of having to reverse engineer it all.
Everyone else is probably only interested in asset data, Nintendo switch 2, or finding exploits for homebrew lol.
No romhacker or homebrew developer worth their salt will touch any of this. Using leaked material is legally significantly more dangerous than REing. I look forward to seeing the TCRF pages, though.
They can't use this code at all, it would be a surefire way to get the project shut down. Reverse engineering is the only way to operate something like that legally.
They can see how it's done and code their own thing. They don't have to cut and paste the code, just know how its done.
Cleanroom RE is how you prove that's what you did to a court. The point is to avoid into a courtroom with Nintendo at all, making the point moot.
