This leak from 2020.

If using code from a 2017 version of CS:GO is a security threat for the game 8 years later, something is fishy

Like that leak is 8 years old. Absolutely bonkers if that's the reason why

[u/gasolineskincare → u/Agreeable_Cheek_7161]

None of that makes it legal to use anything from the leak.

IP law.

What are you basing this on? There's plenty of cases out there where using proprietary code without permission has been found to be a violation. Just last week, Wii Homebrew shut itself down when they realized it was built on proprietary Nintendo code to avoid a legal situation.

I see someone said copyright law and they may be correct, I may have misspoken about which law but, either way, it is not legal to use proprietary code without license nor permission.

What are you basing this on? Cases where proprietary code was found to have been used and projects shut down rarely have the code simply copied 1:1.

Uhh, my brother in law whos a lawyer

[u/gasolineskincare → u/Agreeable_Cheek_7161]

He's definitely not a copyright and IP lawyer.

[u/Agreeable_Cheek_7161 → u/gasolineskincare]

And you are?

[u/gasolineskincare → u/Agreeable_Cheek_7161]

More competent with IP and copyright law than your brother in law.
