So I understand linking to SX is now forbidden here, because a key may be stored encrypted?
Meanwhile, atmosphere source code is littered with non-public key sources and public keys (not public in the sense of being available to the public, just crypto lingo). Key sources and non-public public keys are definitely covered under copyright, even if no one really tries to enforce copyright against them. I always found it odd many people in the scene try to distinguish this line between private keys, public keys, and key source: it's all copyright infringement. I think the scene lies to itself about this, to make it easier to distribute homebrew software, however its all copyright infringement. Nintendo could DMCA atmosphere's entire repo if they so chose. The list of homebrew apps that embed this stuff is through the roof: lockpick, goldleaf, atmosphere, reinx, SX.
While GBATemp is free to censor whatever they want, it feels like arbitrary enforcement of rules. If enforcing copyright is now a thing, lets also ban all links to atmosphere
