Turrican did not lead on the Amiga, no reason why they have to use WinUAE,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turrican

The processor in a Nintendo switch is ARM based, not x86. Even less reason to use WinUAE.

EDIT: My bad, you did say UAE, not WinUAE in particular.

Because there's no other way to do it.

Not true. Ports do not require emulators.

Couple other points even if you are correct - did the UAE authors ever seek permission to use Motorola/Freescale and CBM intellectual property, 68K and Amiga custom chips?

I don't think original Gnu license covers derivative works either. UAE was invented long before GPL V3.

<shrug> I'm not the one saying emulator creators have IP rights. You are.

I'm also not the one suggesting every Amiga port ever needed an emulator.

But, seeing as you don't like my comments, just pop me on your block list and you'll never hear from me again. Easily sorted.

Oracle spent millions trying to sue Google for reimplementing Java from scratch in Dalvik/Android, and they lost.

I checked, case is still ongoing at the supreme court. Google have NOT won yet. Indeed, they were the ones who had to go the supreme court to save their corporate behind.

Their problem is, they've already admitted plagiarising the code in early versions of Android. Later versions didn't use Java. Why change course if you're in the right?
