Line 96: − Unfortunately not. I'm still considering whether or not they're legal. In a way, they are legal because I'm not technically hired by Nintendo so the CXIs, CIAs, etc I make are not copyrighted by them like retail or licensed developers, but in another way it's not legal because I am using part of the lib to make the files.

:::Just because Nintendo SDKs can build software for retail doesn't mean they include the retail AES key(s). When devs send binaries for RSA signing Nintendo takes care of encrypting the binaries with the retail keys as well.(AFAIK they have *never* included retail keys in their SDKs) --[[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] 03:31, 28 November 2011 (CET)

I wouldn't think they contained retail keys, Yellow8, just it contained some keys (probably dummy keys) called Common Header Keys and they seemed interesting for a moment imho I didn't see your post there lol I'm still considering whether or not they're legal.

:It's not necessary to document *all* the formats their toolchain uses that are *never* used on retail at all IMO.(like those temporary files used during CXI building) --[[User:Yellows8|Yellows8]] 03:31, 28 November 2011 (CET)

Ok, after some thought and looking around here I shouldn't have a problem posting non-commercial (and not copyrighted for developers, ie DevMen or Config) CIAs because user Jl12 has done this without having a problem with copyrights. CFA is essentially a bundle of CIAs so I shouldn't have a copyright issue there as long as the CIAs inside are not commercial and not developer copyrighted (ie I can't post commercial or DevMen/Config/etc), however according to Jl12's upload of his custom CIA it is OK to upload custom CIAs, and in essence CFAs. I'm looking into the legality of other formats, though.--[[User:Xcution|Xcution]]
Today I'll start documenting a little bit of what I find. Currently I'm still learning so this'll probably be amended a lot.
