As far as I'd heard, Apple's licensing only permitted GPTK to be used to evaluate games and their porting potential, and that they prohibited actually shipping games with it (whether this is just applying to the MAS or whether it was actually a licensing term within GPT I'm unsure).

Of course, I can't find a concrete source on this, and perhaps it changed. The download, which I assume has the license with it, is locked behind having an Apple Developer account it seems.

If true, that’s ridiculous. If I were Apple, I’d be throwing money at CodeWeavers to get Proton-like capabilities into macOS.
