In his defense, a LOT of emulator maintainers have this sentiment about RetroArch, so I can’t fault him too much for that one in particular.

Then release your emulator as a paid app for iOS with a closed source and go nuts. Otherwise it's like going out naked during a rainy day and shouting you're getting wet.

Agreed really, but less about the RetroArch part and more just in general with the way this person in particular is. In my mind, if you're not ready to be able to turn the project over to the community to maintain instead of yourself because you're as much of a controlling prick as this guy, then you should never make it even source-available and should just keep it private source.
