"We have determined that you forked a public repo against which we previously received a DMCA notice."
From the email from gitlab, this sounds like gitlab being overly cautious, rather than nintendo filing a notice against Suyu itself.
The notice sounds like the DMCA was filed against yuzu, and gitlab is choosing to remove all forks of yuzu.
Time to self-host?
Which makes me think. Is there a fediverse style GIT repo system?
Yes it’s called forgejo, a fork of gitea
Forgejo is working on it
They need to decentralize, one possibility is using Radicle
This is the best summary I could come up with:
After a first release, GitLab have already pulled down the Nintendo Switch emulator suyu, due to a DMCA hit as a result of it being forked from yuzu which Nintendo shut down.
Even though the suyu team were doing it as a non-profit, with no way to donate, it seems this didn't matter because it's based on a project that was already taken down.
The suyu Discord is also no longer accepting invites, probably due to an influx of people wondering what's going on.
A few people managed to grab the notice that was sent to the suyu team like Mr. Sujano on X:
Since yuzu was open source though, Nintendo will have plenty of trouble fully erasing it, since even a very quick Google search showed up plenty of it still existing on the web across various places.
I've reached out to GitLab for more info…will update if they reply.
