There's been a bit of a furore in the emulation community lately centred around the PlayStation 1 emulator DuckStation, which has now seen two license changes recently.

      If it’s on GitHub you are always allowed to press fork; it’s baked into GitHub ToS.

      You may or may not have rights to modify that fork or create any releases or other types of distribution from it.
