I happened upon this thread as it was shown as the 'Last Post' in the front of the forum.
Not that my opinion matters much, but just to reiterate whats been discussed in the past:
I asked permission to start a forum post about my addon prior to posting it originally, and was given the go-ahead (for the reasons discussed here). If my addon causes consternation, I've never had a problem with having it removed from the Kodi forum discussions. This is the Kodi foundations prerogative. The extent of the support Kodi has provided me I would suggest is limited to allowing discussion in the forums (whether thats "highly supported" I leave it to you to decide).
The legality of games available on archive.org in general has been discussed before and is covered to the best of my ability in the addon wiki.
I'm just one dude who likes old school games and thought it would be fun to learn python. Kodi really is an amazing application and has a community thats been pretty helpful in me learning and making something fun. Sharing it was just kind of a bonus. The addon is free to all and open source. I've never requested and would pretty much outright refuse money for use or development of it. The addon is not 'official' by any means, it just uses Kodi's approved third party addon framework.
