[PRQ#46979] Deletion Request for abgx360
Bakasura [1] filed a deletion request for abgx360 [2]: Greetings, esteemed AUR team, I wish to draw your attention to a matter brought forth by the individual known as MarsSeed, who has seen fit to initiate a petition for the removal of this repository based upon two distinct contentions: 1. Alleged Illegality 2. Ostensible Lack of License for Software Dispensation Allow me the privilege of counterarguing as follows: Regarding Point 1: The assertion of software illegality, as posited by the user MarsSeed, merits elucidation. It is crucial to clarify that the creation of software designed for the facilitation of game backup procedures per se is not inherently illegal. Rather, the transgression resides in the act of disseminating said software sans authorization from the copyright holder. Furthermore, it is imperative to underscore that the party with the rightful standing to assert grievance on account of this software's ostensible implications would be none other than the original authors of the games in question. It is incumbent upon them to furnish substantiated evidence of perceived harm and subsequently resort to the judicial realm, rather than invoking the jurisdiction of AUR. Regarding Point 2: MarsSeed's contention with regard to the purported copyright safeguarding of the original source code by virtue of Seacrest's failure to explicitly extend a license warrants examination. It is incumbent upon me to dispel this notion as misconceived. The categorization of the source code as protected under the aegis of copyright is contingent upon the nuanced interpretation of legal statutes as applicable within the geographical confines of the jurisdiction. It follows, therefore, that the solitary party endowed with the requisite authority to raise such a contention would be none other than the very progenitor of said code, namely Seacrest. I extend my gratitude for your esteemed consideration of this discourse. Sincerely, Bakasura [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Bakasura/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/abgx360/
Request #46979 has been Rejected by Antiz [1]: Hi, Please respond to the current deletion request instead of creating a duplicate one: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur- requests@lists.archlinux.org/thread/VPDQERST63DRZFYFS7JH6YIDWXSFE5TX/ Your answer to MarsSeed's deletion request doesn't provide any relevant information about the (il)legality of this software. The only thing you seems to advance is that you think it is up to the original authors and code holders to deal with that legitimately and the AUR shouldn't be involved in this. As stated in the FAQ section of the AUR wiki page [0], every packages are permitted on the AUR **as long as you are in compliance with the licensing terms of the content**. This implies that illegal packages are not allowed on the AUR (despite what you may think). As of now, this package's situation is unclear enough to not allow keeping that package serenely on the AUR and will thus be removed. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/Antiz/
