      I think the source code download is automatically added by GitHub when you create a release in a project, and I don’t know that there’s any way to remove it. So I don’t think the “source code” download is necessarily intentionally misleading, but apart from that, yeah, you’re absolutely right. It is a bit of a shitty way to use GitHub.

      That was my exact reaction too, but then I remembered that the source that this source-port is based on was not officially released. It was leaked a little while back (last year?), so that means if the authors of this source port make the source available then they could be liable for a DMCA takedown request or a copyright lawsuit.

      They could make their changes available as a patch-set though, requiring end-users to locate a copy of the leaked source themselves and apply the patches.

        That’s in no way different with a binary-only release and also not a good reason to mislead people on top of that.
