GitLab takes down Nintendo Switch emulator suyu due to the DMCA

Well, that didn't last long did it. After a first release, GitLab have already pulled down the Nintendo Switch emulator suyu project, due to a DMCA hit as a result of it being forked from yuzu which Nintendo shut down.

I would like open source lawyers to look into this case, because I wonder if it could be a dangerous precedent against the GPL license and therefore for the entire free software community.

I am absolutely ashamed to use GitLab for my projects these days. They are just as bad as GitHub. They removed this unprovoked. Shitty corporate behavior at its finest. Hopefully Suyu can find a new home on a better hosting platform. I want to dump GitLab for Codeberg mor and more and GL's awful decisions aren't helping. I won't be recommending GL to anyone anytime soon.

It's almost like Nintendo is trying to get me to not spend another cent on them ever again. All they are doing each time something like this happens is incentivize people to make emulators that don't even bother to reverse engineer anything, and then host them somewhere where they can never be taken down.

Shooting themselves in the foot here.

It seems they moved to a self-hosted forgejo instance. https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu
At least for me, GitLab doing that urged me to take a look at Coderberg.
