PlayStation 1 emulator DuckStation changes license for no commercial use and no derivatives

the main dev is talented but has a history of being a diva with a Galt complex. One of the reasons I've stuck with Mednafen aside from the goofy redditor glazing that put me off from trying duckstation in the first place.
- That UI though
just license everything under GPLv3 and call it a day, gosh. any other license is just liberalism (unless someone knows a better one)
- No commercial use can be pretty valid. You might not want some big company using your software.
  (Not that that applies so much to a PS1 emulator.)
  
  Apparently some companies were modifying and packaging Duckstation in commercial products without contributing their changes back into the project which seems to be what ticked him off this time
