>Someone asked him to remove music they contributed from the hack because they didn't like the way it was going then the dev was like "Yes, maybe in the next version." The next version isn't coming out and the hack is on indefinite hiatus or so he says. He also didn't bother replacing the music in the current build even though it would have been piss easy.
Hi, I'm the guy who asked him to remove the music. The hack is on hiatus and I'm fine with him waiting until the next version to remove the music. What I'm hoping for is that, before the next version is completed and released, Shockslayer decides to release the source code, which is the main point of contention that lead to my request. If this doesn't happen by the time the next version comes out months down the line, then I do expect all my music to be removed, but I'm trying to remain diplomatic with him because an open source CC would be beneficial to the entire hacking community.

I don't see much of a reason to remove the music in the current build if nothing else is changed, since people will just play the previous build that still has my music. I like people hearing my music in Gen 2 Pokémon hacks, and I make my music source code public so other people can use them to make their hacks better (since not everyone is great at making music and it's good to use more than the vanilla music when making a ROMhack); the only issue is that CC being closed source might encourage other hackers in the GBC Pokémon hack community to be closed source as well, which would set the progress of the community back a ton. People hacking with the disassembly, making their hack source public, and allowing other hacks to use features they developed for it makes all the hacks better, and I really don't want to risk the community turning back into what the Gen 3 community is like where people keep their custom features to themselves and people spend development time recreating things that already exist in other hacks.
