What you do in your own time is your business. I just think it is best that the forum shouldn’t host discussions about illegal, or possibly illegal, activity.
I don’t see what’s illegal about a screenshot… In any case, atleast where I live, porting software you own to work on your own computer is explicitly legal. Distributing that could be another thing though.

It was Michael Peppers who said the software was possibly illegal, and therefore not appropriate for the depot. I simply took him at his word.
The sourcecode leak may have “dubious” status, but there is nothing dubious about what Michael Peppers is doing, beeing a owner of the Game 
(As am I, as it happens :P)

If you’d like to test it yourself I put up a PR and an issue with more info at their github, I won’t put up more links for obvious reasons.
The PR doesn’t compile on Haiku without a couple more changes to the source but it’s trivial stuff.
ImGui is needed for compilation, I made a recipe for it at Haikuports (it’s a PR for now).
This one is also mostly untested and as-is its OpenGL3 implementation doesn’t work on Mesa 22, I’ve noticed there are some variables one can tweak to make the implementation work on older libraries but I wouldn’t know how to set them properly tbh.
Edit: Compiling it with Clang instead of gcc fixed the remaining issues it had.
So running Starbound on Haiku is an option, provided you’ve bought it, have the patience to compile it yourself and are in a place where it’s legal to do so.

There is always the avenue or asking the right owner a free pass for an obscure operating system, like Terry Cavanagh accepted for VVVVVV.

Yes but those are not the gui versión. I think this Guy works on Microsoft.
