My main goal is to preserve this project, nothing more, so there could be some minor bugfixes around the build system.

-### Why have you crated this issue?
|

|
|
|
-I was unsure about any legal consequences so I made some research, after a odyssee on the internet I found the last statements from the original author on his discord channel. After reading everything carefully I didn't find any sign which would point to a real reason why the project was switched private, only something wage, which doesn't made sense.

|
|
|
-So I decided to switch my fork public and made it buildable again. I like it a lot and I think it should be preserved. I am not the original copyright holder, neither I want to have any to do with it. I am only a "preserver" nothing more, nothing less.

-The original author said that he had to switch his original repository private due to legal reasons, but never stated why, he also wrote that we can use existing forks. The project itself is under GPL3, also there are more people who contributed to it.

-So as you see the original author said we should use existing forks, never wrote anything against it.
