Has any dev heard about the leak? Is it of any use for Dolphin development?

I've heard that a dolphin dev doesn't want any influence by looking at proprietary software because this would cost them to lose the "Clean Room" defence should a copyright claim appear. Is this still the case, or has the opinion changed? I do have access to the files directly but of course I would never post such content here.

I am sorry, I have now read JosJuice's opinion on the topic and will stop talking about it.

Yes, that is very much still the case. We want Dolphin to remain legal, so we will not make use of this leak.

Well, that sure sounds like a violation of the piracy rule we have here on the forums...
